Inhaltsangabe

Stanley Hooker joined the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1949 and tugged a rather reluctant company into the jet age, determined to give real competition to Rolls-Royce. So successful was he that in 1966 Rolls-Royce decided the best thing to do was to spend 63.6 million pounds and buy its rival. By this time there was scarcely a single modern British aero-engine for which Hooker had not been responsible.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stanley Hooker started his career at Rolls-Royce, where he made an immediate impact by increasing the power of the legendary Merlin by thirty per cent. He later joined the Bristol Aeroplane Company, which was subsequently bought by Rolls-Royce. During a long career, Hooker was responsible for almost every modern British aero engine, including those of Concorde and the Harrier, as well as the great RB211.
