Why Not?: The Story of the Honourable Charles Stuart Rolls
David Baines
Charles Rolls was the first Englishman to be killed in an air crash. He was a pioneer in the British automotive and aviation industries who receives little credit for the legacy that he left behind. This biography quotes from his writings and from contemporary accounts of the events during those days of motoring and aviation.
