内容简介
One of America’s most daring and accomplished test pilots, Tex

the 1930s through the 1970s, helped create the jet age at such
pioneering aersospace companies as Bell Aircraft and Boeing.
媒体评论
“There seem to be two Tex Johnstons: the one who became
legendary in 1955 for performing two barrel rolls with the Boeing
707 prototype . . . and the man who brought to flight testing a far
more meticulous approach than had ever been used before. . . .
Johnston is of the barnstorming generation . . . [and] in his
memoir’s best moments you can smell the oil on the grass.”—Air
& Space
“Fascinating reading.”—Aerospace
