Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. In December 1943, a top secret contract (E.24/43) was awarded to Miles Aircraft. The contract was to build the world's first supersonic jet capable of 1000mph. The only reliable source of data on supersonic objects came from the Armament Research Dept and their wind tunnel tests on ammunition. From this, Miles developed an exceptionally thin-winged, bullet-shaped aircraft. the research was inexplicably passed to the Americans in 1944. By December 1945, one prototype was virtually complete. The second, destined for an attempt at the sound barrier was 80 per cent complete. In February 1946, Capt Eric Brown was confirmed as the test pilot and October 1946 was set for the supersonic trials. However, on 12 February 1946, Miles were ordered to stop production. No plausible explanation was given for the cancellation when Britain was within six months of breaking the sound barrier. Eric Brown and others directly involved including Dennis Bancroft, the Chief Aerodynamicist on the M.52, have now come together to try and finally solve the mystery behind the cancellation.

Eric 'Winkle' Brown the author was a pilot who has enjoyed one ofg the most extraordinary careers in flying. He was the first naval officer to head the elite Aerodynamics Flight at Farnborough where he tested captured German types at the end of World War Two. In this book he records his 'from the cockpit' experiences testing British and American carrier aircraft. Carrier operations are potentially the harshest and most dangerous test aircraft and pilot can face. Landing on the pitching, bucking deck of a carrier or catapulted over a plunging bow, shipboard aircraft had to be exceptional. Their real characters have been forgotten and distorted over the passage of time; now this book places on record the flying characteristics, good, bad and indifferent, of aircraft as varied as the Fairey Swordfish and Grumman Hellcat. Sixteen types are covered, each illustrated with cutaways, cockpit details and many photographs. Ref HHH 1.
