COLTRANE'S PLANES & AUTOMOBILES
Engines that turned the World
by: Robbie Coltrane
Hardback Book 1st Edition in Excellent As New Condition (Price Clipped Dust Jacket)
From the Highly Acclaimed Channel 4 Series
Presented by Robbie Coltrane and John Bineas, this series tells the fascinating story of some of the greatest engines ever built - engines that changed the world and indeed History itself.
It brings to life the elemental raw power of steam, the workhorse deisel and how its inventor was driven to suicide.
The exhilarating performance of the supercharger and its involvement in WW11.
The laid back V8 that symbolised the aspirations of America.
The people power of the noisy, smelly two-stroke and the jet which began life as the brainchild of a visionary RAF pilot and went on to shrink the world.
"If you want to see a man single-handedly remove the engine from a Trabant, or toast marshmallows in the afterburner of a military jet aircraft, then this is the film for you" - The Guardian.
"I have a confession to make" says Robbie Coltrane. "I am a nosey bastard. I am incapable of walking past a piece of machinery without wanting to know all the details of its private life."
