TEST PILOTS. The Frontiersmen of Flight

A clean tightly bound softcover copy showing light shelf wear only, and appearing unread!; 9 X 6.02 X 1.14 inches; 347 pages

From Publisher:

If you really wish to learn wrote Wilbur Wright, you must mount a machine and become acquainted with its tricks by actual trial. And even before the Wright Flyer took off on its history-making first flight, intrepid researchers had been testing many different flying machines: the hapless tower jumpers of the Dark Ages; the balloonist of the eighteenth century; the glider builders of the nineteenth. In Test Pilots, Richard P. Hallion chronicles the history of test pilots from these early explorers to today's military men.
