People have an insatiable desire for speed whether they travel in a fast vehicle, or watch others speeding on television or at the racetrack. This book of speed machines introduces children to the ordinary, and the most extraordinary, speeding machines on land, on the water and in the air. As well as fast Jaguar sports cars that hug the road, twin-hulled hydroplanes that skim across the water and Mig-25 jet fighters that power through the sky, there are the record-breakers such as the Transrapid Maglev, Ken Warby's "Spirit of Australia" and the X-15 rocket-plane.
