In this volume Brian Davies recounts his flying career. He joined the Royal Navy in 1952, at the age of 18. He has flown over 50 types of aircraft, held the world airspeed record between New York and London between 1969 and 1974, and was awarded the Air Force Cross. This book is for the consummate aviation enthusiast, itching to know what makes an illustrious World Record Holder and "Top Gun" Naval Test Pilot tick. From pistons through to the Phantom at Mach 2.1, it is all here. The early 50's to the early 70's is all covered in an easy and engaging manner. Carrier ops are all explained in exciting detail. Having flown 50 aircraft types, Brian's book makes for an exceedingly good read. Lavishly illustrated with many photographs from the author's own collection, many published here for the first time.
