Correction

A number of observant readers have pointed out that the driver of the Bentley on page 230 of last month’s issue was not Woolf Barnato, but Clive Dunfee. The Editor agrees and apologises for his affinity with Homer. His caption, however, is not quite pointless, for Barnato shared the wheel of the winning Bentley on three occasions at Le Mans — 1928, 1929 and 1930 — and there is no doubt that his experience and enthusiasm contributed much to the excellence of the cars for whose company he was a director. The full story of the Dunfee/Davis Bentley in the 1929 500-Mile Race, which the photograph in question depicted, is told in the second volume of W. Boddy’s “Story of Brooklands,” pages 406-412.
