Eleven daring test pilots recount their experiences at the forefront of aeronautical innovation in this oral history of the Jet Age.
In the years after World War II, a select band of British test pilots risked everything in the quest to fly further, faster, and higher than ever before. Their vital work made our modern age of air transport possible. This book captures the stories of eleven such pilots, as told in their own words.
Britain's aircraft industry was booming in the late 1940s, and the demand for test pilots was seemingly limitless as new aircraft designs-some legendary and others nearly forgotten-were being built. Royal Air Force veterans who had distinguished themselves in the war suddenly had a vital new mission.
First, they pursued the almost mythic goal of breaking the sound barrier. But once this was accomplished, they found themselves approaching speeds no one imagined possible. Their stories of that time are both colorful and insightful-and often tinged with humor.
