On the Frontier by Richard P. Hallion and Michael H. Gorn
World-renowned Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert is the setting for the exciting, dangerous, and sometimes deadly job of testing the world's most exotic aircraft. Authors Hallion and Gorn, two of America's top aerospace historians, focus on the unique relationship between test pilots and their machines. A completely updated and reinterpreted text, three new chapters, dozens of rare photographs, and the complete statistical record of nearly six decades of testing make this required reading for anyone interested in human flight.
