From the Publisher:
Maurice Rowe was born in London in 1927, and has lived in Barnet, north London, since 1958. An early passion for aviation prompted him to turn up at the offices of Temple Press, publishers of The Aeroplane and The Motor magazine, in 1944, where he was offered a job in the photographic department - despite his protestations that he 'wasn't interested in photography.' He stayed with the company until 1988, working first on such diverse publications as The Aeroplane, Motorcyling and Cycling - and eventually working full-time on The Motor. A London man through-and-through, he has lived in Barnet with his wife, Beryl, since 1958 and continues to resist all her efforts to get him to move to the countryside.
