Synopsis
One of the epic accounts of high-speed flight, this is the story of the Record-Breaking Fairey Delta, by the man who flew through 1000mph for the first time in history. Much more than the usual test pilot's autobiography, the book takes the reader, for the first time, right inside the skin of a record bid, the vast organisation necessary, the political lobbying, the cloak-and-dagger methods of secrecy to keep it dark; above all, the almost intolerable tension as flight after flight fails because of the immense difficulties involved in measuring and timing the runs with sufficient accuracy.
