Product Description
In this account of his first twenty-five years as a naval aviator, Engen vividly recalls the slow start, heroics, and hardships of the golden age of jet airplane development. Flying from bases and carriers throughout the world, Engen and his fellow pilots achieved new heights, speeds, and distances in death-defying tests that epitomized a period of exhilarating experimentation.
