BOWMAN BOOK

Two Bowman books have been researched and written in co-operation with relatives of Geoffrey Bowman Jenkins by Colin Laker, past editor of the 'Bowman News' and 'S.T.E.A.M.' journals. The result of six years work, they are part biographical and include every product made under Geoffrey Bowman Jenkins' direction also the pond yacht items designed and manufactured at Ridlington by his son Max Bowman Jenkins. The wartime and early Dereham days of GBJ's cousin and fellow director Captain Bernard Arthur Smart D.S.O. and Bar are covered as is the two men's association "Jentique" furniture.
