Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-06 00:00:00 Mark Norris This is a work of fiction. There was no race. George Welch himself never claimed to have broken the sound barrier. His plane was busted on that alleged day so he couldn't even fly it. Blackburn created this to sell books and use Yeager's name to do so. The author was going to give a talk at the Society of Experimental Test Pilots convention but canceled when he heard Robert Kempel was going to be there for the Q&A. Robert Kempel is an aeronautical engineer and historian who shows scientifically why it was impossible for Welch to break the sound barrier. |
Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-25 00:00:00 Nicholas Evans Great read. Did they or didn't they? There was plenty of competition in those days (and there still is). This is an easy read of a technical subject and Blackburn has done a great job of keeping the pace (and details) smooth and flowing. |
