 Rosemeyer by Chris Nixon, 0851840604, Lowest Book Price Finder
Bernd Rosemeyer was one of the most heroic drivers of the Thirties, his brief career on bikes and in cars spanning only a few tremendously successful years.
This remarkable book, Nixon's expanded re-translation of Elly's original 1938 work, is a wonderfully vivid account of two remarkable people -- Elly's flying career and Bernd's racing combine as the biography describes their years together, which ended with the tragedy of his death during a record attempt in early '38.
As a memoir of an extraordinary age, and of two unusual people and their relationship, this book is unmissasble.
