Description

Mike Brooke completes his story with more tales of test flying during the 1980s and '90s, following in the success of his earlier books about his military career. This memoir offers a revealing insight into military and civilian test flying of a wide range of aircraft, weapons and systems.

Brooke recounts his experiences at Farnborough and Boscombe Down, as well as off-the-cuff delivery missions to Saudi Arabia, 'bombing' in the name of science in the Arctic, and fulfilling a long-standing dream by flying the vintage SE.5a. His personal anecdotes provide a unique view of flight trials of the times, successes and failures.
