Sir George White was a transport entrepreneur whose work encompassed buses, aircraft and much more. He was a pioneer of electric trams and founded the Bristol Aeroplane Company, which produced fighter aircraft used in the First World War. He was also closely involved with the Bristol Royal Infirmary, helping to clear its debts and creating the fund used to build the Edward VII wing, completed in 1912.
