List of Bluebird record-breaking vehicles
''Blue Bird'' or ''Bluebird'' is the name of various cars and boats used by Sir Malcolm Campbell, his son Donald and other family members to set land and water speed records.
== Origins of the name ==
The name ''Blue Bird'' was originally inspired by the play of that name by Maurice Maeterlinck,〔Scott A. G. M. Crawford, "Campbell, Sir Malcolm (1885–1948)", ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, May 2006 (accessed 25 July 2008 )〕 and the vehicles were painted a shade of pale blue.
Malcolm Campbell had a succession of Darracq racing cars in the 1920s, which in the fashion of the day he had named '' 'Flapper I' '', '' 'Flapper II' '' and '' 'Flapper III' ''. It was '' 'Flapper III' '' which he renamed after seeing the play, famously and impetuously knocking up a paint shop owner at night, so as to purchase blue paint before racing at Brooklands the following day.
In 1925, he also raced an Itala at Brooklands with the name '' 'The Blue Bird' '' painted on the bonnet.
