Description
Author: Donald Stevens, Softbound, 160 Pages, ISBN: 9781845849757, Reprinted in May 2016
The development, construction and operation of the last wheel-driven land speed record-breaking car that the UK produced, and how the tragic demise of Donald Campbell precluded it from reaching its full potential.
This is also the personal story of one of the design team, how he became involved, and his incredible experiences in doing so.
With many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, and illustrations, this is the unique account of a legendary feat of British engineering.
"As a member of Bluebird's design team — eventually overseeing the project — Donald Stevens is as well placed as anyone to write this book, and it gives the work an intimacy that would be hard to match." (Classic Cars)
"This is a wonderful book, written with love, and a reminder of Britain's inherent, if occasionally misplaced, can-do spirit" (Octane)
