The Aces Years - 1950s - Pre Order

‘The Aces Years - 1950s’ (due out April 30 2025).
Aces legend, and former World Champion, Peter Collins MBE and local journalist, former assistant Sports Editor of the Stockport Express Advertiser, Howard Jones have again joined forces to bring Belle Vue fans worldwide a quite remarkable series of books on the history, of arguably the sports most famous speedway club - The Belle Vue Aces.
The Aces Years - 1950s is the second book in the series (#3 in its listing) to be published, and it’s a unique style publication (A4 size) which charts the complete history of the club in full colour.
Enjoy 168 pages of sheer speedway and Belle Vue Aces nostalgia as we turn the pages back to the exciting times that was the 1950s at Hyde Road.
Following on from the first issue in the series, ‘The Aces Years - 1970s’ (published October 25 2024), ‘The Aces Years - 1950s’ brings back to life the thrilling ‘50s era, an era which saw the departure of the legendary Aces hero Jack Parker, and heralded in the start of what would be a glittering racing career of a young man from Liverpool, great Peter Craven.
See how Craven built up his reputation to thrill the Aces fans at Hyde Road, went on to conquer the speedway world in 1955 and re-live a high flying air drama over the North Sea for the Aces in the early 1950s.
While the club did not win a National League title in the ‘50s, there was still plenty to enjoy and it all comes back to life in this thrilling edition which will be published on April 30 2025.
