EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Sir Malcolm Campbell's Blue Bird at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA, 1935. This iconic photograph captures Sir Malcolm Campbell's Blue Bird streamlined vehicle during its historic attempt to set the World Land Speed Record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, in 1935. The image showcases the sleek, aerodynamic design of the Blue Bird, which was a testament to Campbell's relentless pursuit of speed and innovation. Sir Malcolm Campbell, a British racing driver and automobile record-breaker, had already set several land speed records during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1935, he returned to Bonneville Salt Flats with the latest version of his Blue Bird, determined to break the 300 miles per hour barrier. The car, powered by a Rolls-Royce V12 engine, was equipped with a streamlined body and a supercharger, making it one of the most advanced vehicles of its time. On August 12, 1935, Campbell successfully reached a top speed of 301.126 miles per hour, shattering the previous record and cementing his place in motorsport history. This photograph, taken during the record-breaking run, provides a fascinating glimpse into the thrilling world of land speed racing during the 1930s. The Bonneville Salt Flats, with their flat, uninterrupted surface, have since become a legendary venue for speed records, and Sir Malcolm Campbell's Blue Bird remains an enduring symbol of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of speed.
