The Bluebird years : Donald Campbell and the pursuit of speed

"Here is the complete story of Donald Campbell's heroic attempts to take the world water-speed record past 300 mph - and how the wreck of his jet-boat Bluebird was recovered from Coniston Water more than 34 years later. It includes the entire text of 'With Campbell at Coniston' - the classic account by Arthur Knowles of the preparations and the final attempt that ended in tragedy when success seemed within Campbell's grasp"--Provided by the publisher.
