Edwardsflighttest.com is thrilled to announce the soon-to-be-published autobiography of legendary Air Force and NASA test pilot Fitzhugh L. 'Fitz' Fulton, Jr., entitled "Father of the Mother Planes." This self-published venture has been over 20 years in the making.

In his own words, Fitz has covered his incredible aviation career that spans more than four decades. While in the service, Fitz flew in the Berlin Airlift and Korean War, tested the Air Force's newest bombers, launched every 'X-Plane' from the X-1 to the X-15 and flew the Mach 2 B-58 Hustler and triplesonic XB-70 Valkyrie.

After retiring from the Air Force, he flew for NASA piloting aircraft such as the YF-12 Blackbird and 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. After leaving NASA, he became a test pilot for Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites.

This 8-1/2x11 book is 270 pages and contains nearly 60 black-and-white photographs. We expect delivery by the end of May, and with a small print run of only 200 copies, this book is expected to sell-out quickly. Edwardsflightest.com is your exclusive source for purchasing this great piece of aerospace history. Fitz has kindly agreed to autograph 50 copies to be sold as special editions. Included with the special editions will be a DVD containing nearly 400 photos covering Fitz and his flying career. The DVD will NOT be sold separately.

Standard-edition books are priced at $29.95 while the signed, special editions with DVD will be sold for $75 (shipping not included). With only 50 special edition copies available, there is a strict limit of one-per-customer. We are now taking reservations for the book, but please do not send payment until you're notified the books have arrived. Don't miss this opportunity to own a unique source of aerospace history.
