About this Item

Small surprise.as I looked through this book, I concluded that these test pilots all have a "twinkle in their eyes" or something along that line! See if you agree. Please find: "Testing Time- The Story of British Test Pilots and Their Aircraft" by Constance Babington-Smith. Testing Time traces the development of the combined art and science of test piloting throughout the whole fifty years of powered flight. Constance Babington-Smith though not a pilot herself, has for years been closely associated with aeronautics and photo intelligence. This book includes 32 pages of b&w photos.
Condition: This book is in near fine condition. The dust jacket has a bit of minor damage to the top of the spine but is otherwise complete and not price-clipped. The finish of the dust jacket is scuffed but nothing too extreme. The hard covers are clean, perhaps a bit dust-dulled but very presentable. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and photos are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
