CJE, I am not exactly sure what you are trying to say here, but, "hair-raising" means really scary in English. I am not sure that would be appropriate for a title like this.

I think it needs "shocking" and "heartwarming" in there, just to cover every possible base.

Ask US crews what they thought of the 900 km/h-passes at their B-17 boxes!
Were they not scary?
