Knighted by King George V in 1931 for setting the record of 231.4 mph at Daytona Sands, he went on to a new land speed record in excess of 300 m.p.h at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, achieved in 1935. His vehicles were all named 'Blue Bird' and he became a national hero for his bravery and determination. We learn of his upbringing and some great escapades including treasure hunting in the Cocos Islands. He was also a successful motor racing driver and regular at Brooklands in its heyday.
Illustrated with over 60 photographs that bring this exciting autobiography vividly to life. This is a unique record of a pioneering period for land speed record breaking and racing car development. It was a dangerous pursuit and Campbell lost many of his contemporaries in accidents.
