The History of Aviation at Brooklands in 100 Objects Book Launch
From bamboo biplanes to supersonic airliners and the pioneer designers who created them
A History of Aviation at Brooklands in 100 Objects. The author Nigel Spooner writes;
The book is a history of aviation at Brooklands in 100 objects that are arranged into
seven episodes, each of which covers a particular era of that history. Choosing what to include and
what to leave out has been a difficult task – there can be no such thing as a perfect list! The objects
include aircraft, engines, places and many other elements that played a role in the transformation
of Brooklands from a marshy water meadow to one of Europe’s largest aircraft factories. The intent
with each one is not to indulge in too many technical details but rather to explore the stories and
people behind them. I have also included relatively brief biographies on each of the six featured
designers that are intended to show their personal contributions to the Brooklands history.
