Synopsis
One of America's most daring and accomplished test pilots, Johnston helped develop the jet age at Bell Aircraft and Boeing. At Bell, he tested the XS-1, and at Boeing the XB-47 (the first six-jet engine bomber), the XB-52 bomber, and the 707 series of jets - including a famous barrel-roll above a crowd gathered for the Gold Cup Hydroplane Races in Seattle, Wash.

About the Author
A. M. "Tex" Johnston was a test pilot for Bell Aircraft and Boeing.
Review
“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
