Description
Woolf Barnato - Man About Town by Anthony Davis is a biography based on true facts and characters. Born into a wealthy family after his father's mysterious death in 1897, Woolf left university to serve in the Royal Field Artillery during World War I. After the war, he became obsessed with racing fast cars and played a crucial role in saving Bentley Motor Cars from bankruptcy in 1926. As one of the Bentley Boys, a group of young wealthy men who raced Bentley cars, Woolf won the Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance Race three consecutive years, earning him recognition as the best racing driver of his time. This book tells the story of Woolf Barnato's life, from his early inheritance to his success in motorsport, and provides a unique insight into the world of racing during the early 20th century.
