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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnighted 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrated 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47523328065789,"sku":"9781739159757","price":53.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/dUhnL252NEk4cDdZcHBmWHJKNlVFZz09.webp?v=1778442790","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/my-thirty-years-of-speed-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
