A friend recommended a good book written by a test pilot a while ago, but I can't remember which one it was. I want to buy my Dad such a book for Christmas - can anyone recommend a good one? I'm looking at Tony Blackman and Eric Brown at the moment.
The Quick and the Dead - Bill WatertonAnything by Neville Duke.
The Dangerous Skies - A.E.Clouston - air racing before the war, test flying before, during and afterwards.
Another must-have is Alex Henshaw's 'Sigh for a Merlin'
