WORLDS MOST MAGNIFICENT MACHINES (HB)

The longest ship ever built, the heaviest digger and the largest aeroplane, the world's first working motorcar, and its most expensive one. What machines like these have in common is that they all say a lot about the inventiveness and imagination of the people who conceived and created them. Some of them are useful, others are just a bit of fun, and not all of them worked the way they were supposed to - but all are truly magnificent, with some fascinating human stories behind them.
