Race Against the Odds: |
 |
|
This is the first of its kind, an entire book devoted
to the life and immortality of a single powerboat, rather than a driver.
Miss England II is the legendary record-breaking speedboat of the 1930s.
Thirty years of research by a powerboat historian have gone into this
tragic success story; research which uncovers previously unpublished facts
and photographs - an historic biography about a well-known speedboat. |

The Bluebird Years |
 |
|

book that documented Donald Campbell’s attempts to raise the world water-speed
record in his "Bluebird" jet-propelled boat to 300mph. Written by the
man who was with Campbell throughout all the preparations and the final
attempt that ended in tragedy. Features dramatic photographs, including
close-ups of "Bluebird" and shots of record attempts at full speed. An
account of the raising of Bluebird, recovery of Donald Campbell's
body and his funeral service. |
