The perfect compliment to "The Right Stuff", it is a realistic look at what it takes to be a test pilot. Bridgeman doesn't discuss the hero pilot angle, but does talk about the hard work, the struggle to understand and apply new engineering concepts, and the fear and tension that goes along with a test program. Very educational for any aviator or history buff.
Bil Bridgeman died in the late 60's flying a Gruman flying boat.

Bill Bridgeman was the very first man to fly at Mach 2 in the Douglas Skyrocket. This is a factual, exciting story, told by a humble, quiet hero. A contemporary of Chuck Yaeger, Bridgeman is a rare commodity - an aviation hero who credits luck and teamwork over ego and bravado. This book gives us a peak into that exciting time 50 years ago when heros dropped from the belly of bombers to reach the edges of space
