X-Planes - great magazine!

Postby Adam the Akrodude » Sat Aug 09, 2014 11:11 am

Treated myself yesterday to a great magazine - "X-Planes - Great test pilots tell their stories".

I read Air & Space by the Smithsonian fairly regularly and this X-Planes special is published by same. Such greats as Edwards, Yeager, Crossfield, Hoover, Milt Thompson, Fitz Fulton John Glenn, Joe Engle tell about their careers and greatest test flying moments. Alvin White writes about his ejection from the doomed XB-70 when Joe Walker's F-104 hit the XB-70 taking off it's tails - compelling reading!

Anyone interested in this period of aviation will really enjoy this magazine - highly recommended.
