Charles Stewart Rolls was a British pioneer in motoring and aviation who co-founded the Rolls-Royce car manufacturing firm with Henry Royce. His contributions to the automotive and aviation industries were significant. Tragically, he became the first Briton to be killed in an aeronautical accident with a powered aircraft during a flying display in Bournemouth when the tail of his Wright Flyer broke off. His legacy lives on through the enduring success of Rolls-Royce as a prestigious automotive brand.
