Test Pilots, by Wolfgang Spate
Picked up a copy at the RAF Museum shop, Hendon, today - reduced from £19.95 to £4.99 (whatever that is in funny money...)
Looks a bargain, covering from 1910 (Kurt Zwickau) to 1986! Includes pieces from 18 authors, including Hanna Reitsch (crash-landing a Me163); parachute and ejection-seat trials (Wilhelm Buss et al) plus details of trials of retro-rockets, rigid-tow gliders, troika-schlepp, etc; DFS280 testing and more... Plenty of photos - quality varies, since they and the texts are contemporary. Looks good to me at first browse - any comments? Tony
