One of the most versatile race car drivers of the 1950s, Ray Crawford did it all, on and off the track. From P-38 fighter ace to pioneering jet test pilot, to a multi million dollar supermarket mogul, Ray’s one-of-a-kind story comes to life through Andrew Layton’s finely crafted text and over 250 rare images presented by the legendary Dick Wallen. Together with a personal foreword by Alice Hanks, Ray Crawford – Speed Merchant is as much a tribute to a hard-charging era of motorsports as it is a tour-de-force exploration of one of one of the most incredible personal journeys you’ve never heard of.”
