Archie Frazer-Nash was one of those ebullient products of the Victorian age who were able to adapt their engineering training and experience in many ways. Starting off in 1910 with light cars (‘cyclecars’), which he raced with enthusiasm, during the First World War he worked on interrupter gear for fighter aircraft, returning to car manufacture and racing once the war was over. This eventually failed in the late 1920s, although every Frazer-Nash car built has survived. Subsequent items from Archie's productive mind included a crane safety indicator, and the Frazer-Nash gun turret, much used on World War 11 bombers, as well as varied other defence work, until his death in 1965. An interesting book on a very interesting character! 256 pages, well illustrated with B&W?photos and drawings. Hardbound.
