Wild Willy's Five-Minute Book Review
Series produced by William Ingalls
Twenty-six five-minute book reviews all about cars, planes, boats and planes.
Wild Willy, a cross between a college history professor and a street-wise gearhead, tells it like it was. Who actually designed the original VW Bug? Hint: the design was stolen by Ferdinand Porsche at Hitler's insistence. Who first flew a jet-powered flying wing? Not Jack Northrop. How much money did riverboat gamblers make in the 1850s? Why did steamboats blow up when backing away from the dock? Questions like these are answered, along with many others in 26 surprising and information-packed book reviews. Humorous, accurate and fast, this series fills the listener in on the history of transportation development. Who invented the parking meter? Who first discovered that sex sells cars, and what successful car company did they own? What was it like to be a German fighter pilot over the Front in WWI?
