Summary: Classic Speedboats : The Summit 1945-1962
Review: Companion book to "Classic Speedboats 1916-1939" by the same author. Once again this book was first published in 1997, by a French author, so be advised. James Taylor (hopefully not "the" James Taylor) gets the credit for translation to English.Book is an excellent source for period photographs. However, if you know any of the actual history of this subject matter, read the captions with a skeptical eye. The captions written for the more contemporary photographs are a catastrophe! The photographs are exceptional though. Perhaps the caption writer wasn't the author! I certainly hope so! By this book for the photography...just don't read the captions!
