(Text)
To mark the occasion of the 150-year jubilee of the Magirus Company, authors Martin Nestler and Wolfgang Rotter recount the story of Conrad Dietrich Magirus and illuminate the background on his life and times.
The book goes on to trace the fascinating development of the business with all the ups and downs from its founding right through to the present day. The major innovations and products made by Magirus to fight fires and to save lives are depicted in a striking manner.
Complemented by an array of photos and images, some never published before, an impressive documentation has been created for everyone with an interest in the Magirus Company in all its diversity.
A book not only for fans of fire-fighting vehicles.
