Bell X-1 - Bok av Peter E. Davies - Häftad

Bell X-1 - Bok av Peter E. Davies - Häftad

In 1947, no one knew if it was possible to break the 'sound barrier'. The Bell X-1 was the tiny, rocket-powered craft that finally broke it. It was the result of innovative designers and engineers turning their attention from the pioneering jets of World War II to a new task - an aircraft designed purely to fly faster than sound.

Vanessa Bell - Portrait of the Bloomsbury Artist - Bok av Frances Spalding - Häftad

Vanessa Bell - Portrait of the Bloomsbury Artist - Bok av Frances Spalding - Häftad

Vanessa Bell is central to the history of the Bloomsbury Group, yet until this authorised biography was written, she largely remained a silent and inscrutable figure.

Frances Spalding here draws upon a mass of unpublished documents to reveal Bell's extraordinary achievements in both her art and her life. She recounts in vivid detail how Bell's move into the Bloomsbury Group and her exposure..

Persian Pictures - From the Mountains to the Sea - Bok av Gertrude Bell - Häftad

'Are we the same, I wonder, when all our surroundings, association, acquaintances are changed? I conclude that it is not the person who danced with you at Mansfield St who writes to you today from Persia. Yet there are dregs, English sediment at the bottom of my sherbet, and perhaps they flavour it more than I think. I write to you of Persia: I am not me, that is my only excuse. I am merely pouring out for you some of what I have received in the last two months.'When Gertrude Bell's uncle was appointed..
