The tale of Crusader, the jet-powered boat of 1952, appears to be a
simple one about the ambition of John Cobb and Reid Railton, two
unassuming but deeply gifted men, to break the water speed record
on Loch Ness only for their efforts to end in tragedy. In fact the
story behind that fateful outcome - Cobb's death on his first
high-speed run - is a complex web of clever design and
inspirational endeavour mixed with personality clashes and errors
of judgement. After many years of research, including access to a
wealth of original documentation, Steve Holter unravels the entire
saga of the ill-fated Crusader and presents a compelling detective
story.
