First American edition of an important text, still of interest. The “high-speed small craft” referred to in the title were the originals of what was to become the iconic PT Boat. The author designed Malcom Campbell’s record-breaking speedboat “Bluebird II,” and “From his knowledge gained in the design… he has compiled this comprehensive and authoritative work… dealing in detail with the construction of fast motor boats of the inboard type, “for which this work became a veritable design textbook.” Light cover wear, in chipped dj.
