From book:
A presentation of Ferdinand Porsche's life and work paralleled by contemporary events was the intent of this book. Because the years 1875 - 1975 were more than the span of an ingenious inventor and his designs, they were simultaneously one hundred years of world history, of wars and catastrophes, of highlights in research, art and technology. They witnessed a tremendous swell of humanity in previously undreamed of realms from the invention of the automobile, the telephone, recording technology and motion pictures to a temporary culmination in our time with the landings on the moon.  Such an overwhelming wealth of fact would be impossible to illustrate completely unless one accepted a weighty historical tome of the times. Thus we attempted here to bring the whole range of the last 100 years into focus by means of ever-changing pictures.
