Fighter Pilot's Heaven-Flight Testing The Early Jets:
Donald S. Lopez is a national treasure. In addition to serving with Chennault's Flying Tigers in China, (where he won the DFC and became an Ace) Lopez was instrumental in testing the P-59, the P-80, and the P-84. (among many others) Mr. Lopez's writing style is verbose. He gets to the point quickly. And the point is either heartbreakingly sad, tense as hell, or incredibly funny. In this book and his previous work, "Into the Teeth of the Tiger" Mr. Lopez narrates a life anyone would be proud to say was their own. This non-fiction reads like fiction. The foreword is by Frank Borman.
Who read the Right Stuff, will appreciate this book to...:
It is great book, Mr. Lopez did a great job describing the life of a test pilot at that era. With the hottest planes of that time.
