Very interesting inside information of this testpilot with movie star outlook and sturdy virile features from a hell of a period in aviation technology in search for more speed and refinement. I myself would gladly have his book: the lonely sky. I think this period to be the most fascinating episode with the skies above Edwards Air Force Base rattling wiith sonic booms of guyslike him, Yeager, Everest, Ridley, Crossfield and all those heroes who died in this continuous struggle for advancement and better planes
