Race Against the Odds:
The Tragic Success Story of Miss England II

Kevin Desmond

Cover Shot

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years of research by a powerboat historian have gone into this tragic success story; research which uncovers previously unpublished facts and photographs - an historic biography about a well-known speedboat.
