The number of exceptional
books written about aircraft engines during the last century is few, probably
less than 20. For two of these books to have come from the same author is truly
remarkable, but this is indeed the case with Robert J. Neal’s works about the engines
of Packard. These two volumes are large, extremely well researched, and full of
pictures and illustrations. The inspiration for these books came when Mr. Neal
viewed Gar Wood’s Miss America VIII at the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum
in Seattle. He was so impressed with the boat’s record under Packard power that
he decided to further investigate the non-automotive applications of Packard
engines.
 Packards
at Speed is the “first book
devoted entirely to Packards in performance.” Resulting from more than four
years of research, it provides extraordinary insight into the use of Packard
engines in auto, marine and air racing applications. In addition to its
comprehensive narrative, Packards at Speed offers a large collection of
appendices documenting racing statistics, records, accomplishments, and engine
technical specifications. Published by Aero-Marine History Publishing Company.
