AL121 Some more book titles
« on: May 20, 2022, 07:03:47 AM »
Looking at some more of of my bookshelves I can list titles of nine more books and for a point for each, just tell me the author/authors. I'll put this one in the Pro section so that everyone can have a go at it!
Edited to say I'll add correct answers here as and when they are posted
More Motor Racing  -  A.F. Rivers Fletcher (Carnut)
Five Roads to Danger - T.R. Nicholson (Hiawatha)
The Salmson Story - Chris Draper (Hiawatha)
Power and Glory - William Court (Nicanary)
Drivers in Action - Louis Klementaski and Michael Frostick (Nicanary)
To Draw a Long Line - C.E. 'Johnny' Johnson (Hiawatha)
The Racing  - Denis Jenkinson (Hiawatha)
50 Jahre Nürburgring - Thora Hornung (Hiawatha)
British Racing Green - Anthony Pritchard (Nicanary)

Now that all have been found I shall award points to
Carnut 1
Nicanary 3
Hiawatha 5

Power & Glory is by William Court.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Co-author is Michael Frostick.

There are several titles named Brotish Racing Green - mine is the little anthology by David Venables. There are similar titles by Anthony Pritchard and Klemantaski/Frostick.

Michael Frostick is the co-author I wanted.
Too much to hope that the titles were unique and my "British Racing Green" is by Anthony Pritchard so that's that.
