Reseña del libro "My Thirty Years of Speed (en Inglés)"

'My Thirty Years of Speed' is the compelling autobiography of Sir Malcolm Campbell who was the preeminent land and water speed record breaker after the First World War. He tells in his own words the fascinating story of his love of speed and his desire to beat the land speed record after serving in the Royal Flying Corps during The Great War. 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, 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 was a pioneering time for land speed record attempts with machinery at the cutting edge of the available technology so sadly Campbell saw many of his contemporaries die in accidents. He himself lived until 1948. The book includes an obituary from 'Motor Sport' magazine.
