Bluebird CN7 - The inside story of Donald Campbell's Land Speed Record car by Donald Stevens

[dynamicangel]

I have to disagree with you. CN-7 was a technical marvel built to stronger tollerances than a fighter jet of it's day. The tail fin was needed not because the car was unstable as it was exhaustably windtunnel tested as stable. It was needed because the salt lake beds in Auatrailia were so mushy that the car slid around alot. If it had had a good dry lake to run on it would have hit 475 M.P.H. without the tail fin......Waldo Stakes

A great car right enough, but somewhat flawed in original conception. The added tailfin made all the difference to the stability. If the original car had had one it would not have crashed for the reason it did.

The book barely covers the '64 record attempt, and is full of typographical and editorial errors- a great shame :-(

@MikeandEllie That's a shame. A great car and a great driver.
