A Very Fine condition hardback book in blue covers in a Fine condition unclipped dust jacket. The contents are clean, tight and bright and it feels unread. Nearly as new.
The story of Brian Trubshaw’s life in flying; from his RAF war service, his time with the prestigious ‘King’s Flight’ to becoming a test pilot with Vickers-Armstrong, culminating in being the first British pilot to fly Concorde in 1969 and his role in the ensuing test programme. Co-written with his step daughter, this is a fascinating insight into the testing of civilian airliners such as the Vanguard, the VC10 and Concorde in particular.
An excellent copy boldly signed by Brian Trubshaw at the time of publication.
