Para os mais interessados nos mais de 100 anos de história da marca RR aqui fica a sugestão:

The Magic of a Name is Peter Pugh’s definitive account of the history of Rolls-Royce. It contains hitherto unpublished material and over 150 photographs from the Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust’s private collection.   THE MAGIC OF A NAME The Rolls-Royce Story: The first 40 years Peter Pugh Part One: The First Forty Years Part one tells the story of the historic meeting of two great men: Henry Royce and the Honourable Charles Rolls. Charting the building of the Silver Ghost, ‘The best car in the world’; the legendary engines used in the pioneering days of powered flight; the first direct flight across the Atlantic; and the development of the world’s first jet engine designed by Frank Whittle and marks out its future. Part Two: The Power of the Jets Part two of the history tells the story of how Rolls-Royce came to dominate the design and production of engines which have powered the world’s most advanced and successful civil and military aircraft and ships. Part Three: A Family of Engines Part 3 of the history completes the Rolls-Royce trilogy. The book looks at the company’s bold decision to develop the RB211 family of engines in the 1960s and 1970s, that would eventually lead to the development of the Trent engines. It also looks at the company’s close co-operation with other companies in producing new aero engines such as the V2500 and BR700 series. To conclude, there is an evaluation of the company becoming a ‘global’ player and how Rolls-Royce extended its portfolio in to marine and energy markets.
