People's car: a facsimile of B.I.O.S. final report no. 998 Investigation into the design and performance of the Volkswagen or German people's car, first published in 1947 - Hardcover
Synopsis
This facsimile edition of a British Intelligence Sub-Committee (BIOS) Report comprises a series of tests carried out by vehicle or component manufacturers, describing the performance and design of the Volkswagen, or German people's car. Designed chiefly by Dr Porsche, the car was to go into production in 1939, but as a wartime measure a modified vehicle was commissioned for the German army. Besides being a technical design report, the book helps to place the eponymous Beetle in its historical context. The appendix includes a translation of how to purchase the car using #85 worth of saving stamps.
