Or a boy wedged down a ravine by his ears? How would you cope if a child fell into a gorilla pit at the zoo you were visiting? This book contains 15 extraordinary stories about incidents like these. Each story conveys the horror and dangers encountered by the victims and the rescuers, and special spreads offer sound and practical 999 safety tips to enable the reader to handle life-threatening situations should they reach the scene before professional help arrives. Having the knowledge of how to treat smoke inhalation, burns, heart attacks or post-traumatic stress disorder really can be the difference between life and death for the victim. "999" stories involve fire crews, ambulance teams, air sea rescue squads and coastguards, paramedics and police officers but, more often than not, they involve ordinary people who have been caught up in extraordinary situations. There are people like Haley Rogers' friend who saved her life by giving Haley mouth-to-mouth resuscitation underwater when her hair got trapped in the duct of a swimming pool, and Robert Legg, a flying instructor, who flew alongside Alan Anderson's plane to show him how to land after the pilot, his father-in-law, had died at the pilot controls. "999" is dramatic and often amazing but, perhaps most importantly, it is comforting as it demonstrates that all of us have the potential to help save a life.

Synopsis This volume tells the story of the first 40 years of Britain's most prestigious manufacturer - Rolls-Royce -a company whose record of achievements is part of the history of the 20th century. The book begins with the historic meeting in May 1904 of two great men, Henry Royce and the Honourable C.S. Rolls. Their instant rapport led to an agreement whereby Royce would design "the best cars in the world" and Rolls would advertise and sell them. In 1906, Rolls-Royce Limited was formed, Claude Johnson joined the company as a visionary managing director, and the legendary Silver Ghost, "the best car in the world", was born. In 1914, the Great War intervened and Royce turned his skills to producing a reliable aero engine. The result was the Eagle, quickly followed by the Hawk, Falcon and Condor, all of which proved themselves in battle and confirmed Rolls-Royce as a leading manufacturer of aero engines as well as motor cars. It was an Eagle-powered Vickers Vimy in which Alcock and Brown made the first direct flight across the Atlantic. Other record-breaking feats followed, but Rolls-Royce turned back to cars in the 1920s, producing the Twenty and the Phantom, and also setting up a manufacturing plant in Springdfield, Massachusetts. However, his country beckoned Royce one again, and built the Rolls-Royce "R" engine which won the Schneider Trophy an established a new world air speed record of over 400mph, powering a Supermarine S6. The collaboration with Reginald Mitchell, who had designed the S6, led eventually to the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine being installed in the Mitchell-designed Spitfire. By now, another war seemed inevitable and, in a race against time, Merlin engines, Supermarine Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes were developed and built in sufficient numbers to win the Battle of Britain in the late summer of 1940.

It also relates how Rolls-Royce broke through and the US aircraft company, Lockheed needed rescuing after they overstretched themselves launching the TriStar with the RB 211. This volume also takes the story of the motor car on through such marques as the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn, Silver Wraith, Silver Cloud, Silver Shadow, Corniche and Camarge as well as the Bentley Mk VI, R.S and T series and the Bentley Continential and Mulsanne. This part of the Roll-Royce story ends with the privatisation of the company in 1987. Condition: as new/ pristine.
