This Coast and Country review includes a special feature on Mallard, the fastest steam
locomotive in the world, and reveals Don Hale’s exclusive investigation as to how Sir Nigel
Gresley created this incredible engine to challenge the growing threat from Nazi Germany,
who in the late 1930’s held numerous speed records.

Don’s book includes exclusive copy and photographs of rival German locomotives, and key
Nazi officials as they prepared to try and dominate the rail network with their own super-fast
railway engines.
