More than sixty years after its first flight the Meteor lives on as it is still used by Martin Baker to test ejection seats, testimony to the basic soundness of the design. This book looks into the aircraft’s design history, development through many different variants and includes many firsthand accounts of flying the aircraft in peace and war.
