The life of Jean Behra (1921-1959), the iconic French champion motorcyclist and racing driver during the glorious decade of the 50s, is told here in detail for the first time.
Many testimonies of his contemporaries (Houel Monneret, Manzon, Trintignant, Da Silva Ramos or Stirling Moss, among others) round access to family archives entrusted by his son and enriched by the result of many literature searches.
Official Driver successively Gordini, Maserati, BRM, Ferrari and Porsche having successfully defended the colors of Moto Guzzi, Jean Behra, character terribly endearing, has dreamed a generation before the arrival of Jean-Pierre Beltoise. It has also given in writing the preface to this book completely new.
The helmet checkered Jean Behra, outsized champion, remained as famous as his achievements and determination to overcome this Prince of motorcycle and car racing.
