Readers can relive the true golden age of high-performance classic speedboats in this book that covers these mighty wooden-hulled craft from around World War I until just before the second World War. This was an era when speed was still a new plaything, and speedboats and aircraft were raced as passionately as were automobiles; when massive mahogany speedboats powered by engines from suppliers such as Rolls-Royce competed fiercely against rivals from around the world. Classic speedboat enthusiasts will relish the cutaway drawings of these craft, as well as the choice archival photography and the modern color photography of these now-impeccably restored beauties.

Less than one year after the end of World War II, speedboat enthusiasts resumed their passionate affair with the sport. The two nations at the fore of this renaissance were Italy -- where gentlemen racers capitalized on their proximity to exotic engines from Ferrari, Maserati and Alfa Romeo -- and the U.S. -- where skilled engineers and an abundant surplus of aircraft engines helped spawn a new breed of speedboats: the unlimited. This marvelous followup to Classic Speedboats 1916-1939 (MBI Item #125483AP) examines the birth of a modern motorsport. A knowledgeable text is combined with archival images depicting boats at speed, expertly crafted wood hulls, and the fantastic engines that powered them. Also included is coverage of great boats from other European nations, the advent of notoriously dangerous jet-powered hydroplanes, and the piston-engined Miss US 1, which in 1962 attained a speed of 200 mph, a record for piston-powered boats that remains unbroken.
