Bill Milliken's autobiography (600+ pages!) titled Equations of Motion: Adventure, Risk and Innovation. The forward is by Dan Gurney. It was published in 2006 by Bentley Publishers. Milliken has been around cars and planes for much of his 90+ years. His 'camber car' was recently featured at Goodwood.

 

The World's Fasest Diesel: the inside story of the JCB Dieselmax land speed record success. It was published in 2006 by Haynes and has a lot of great photos. Everything I've read that was authored by David Tremayne has been worth it. The car, driven by Andy Green, raised the old record from 235 mph to 350 mph. Green drove the Thrust SSC to the supersonic world land speed record a decade ago. Tremayne had full access throughout the build of the JCB Dieselmax.

 

Ask your library to purchase one or both.
