No current Talk conversations about this book. softback A breezy memoir of a career spanning the rapid development of aerospace technology. Heavy on technically detailed anecdotes, light on history (so light that it rarely provides even the year during which events occurred). Frankly, a bit of a disappointment. Still, will be interesting for any focused on the early days of jet aircraft in the U.S. - especially the development of the 707. no reviews | add a review
One of America's most daring and accomplished test pilots, Tex Johnston flew the first US jet airplanes and, in a career spanning the 1930s through the 1970s, helped create the jet age at such pioneering aersospace companies as Bell Aircraft and Boeing. No library descriptions found. |
