The Hovercraft Story by Ashley Hollebone
Motoring journalist Ashley Hollebone reveals for the first time the full story behind the hovercraft, a wonderful British invention that was created in a back shed from a rusty food tin and an old hair dryer – simple yet remarkable! Christopher Cockerell’s 1950s invention has found a multitude of uses across numerous arenas, from cross-Channel ferries and leisure cruising to racing at up to 80mph; it has modernised travel and has an impressive safety record, yet despite this little has been written about this, one of the most innovative modes of transport. This colourful book decisively redresses the balance and comprehensively reveals the history of the hovercraft, through photographs and diagrams, making it an invaluable addition to every enthusiast’s library.Ashley Hollebone has over 20 years experience within the film industry, which ranges from the art department to an Action Vehicle Coordinator. As a motoring journalist, he has written for numerous titles and motoring shows. From teaching actors to driving strange vehicles and road-testing, his life revolves around cars in the media. Ashley also has a passion for pre-war motoring.
