Description :

SOCIETY OF EXPERIMENTAL TEST PILOTS – HISTORY. Hardcover. 1978, Taylor Publishing (Covina CA). 399 pages.

This one is definitely a "niche" publication! Covers the history of experimental aircraft & their pilots from the 1950s - when the group was known as "The Testy Test Pilots" - to the 1970s. Charter members at the first meeting in October 1955 include future greats Neil Armstrong & Scott Crossfield. Lots of great little details about the men and machines during the 20+ year period covered. there are also some rather obscure photos; you won't see most of these in other books. For the real test pilot/experimental aircraft fan or aficionado. Note that while the pages are all intact & in good shape, the cover has seen better days - see last 3 photos. 



Dimensions : 8.75 in W x 11.25 in H
