Opis

In 1961, pilot Robert W. White flew a hypersonic rocket-powered airplane six times faster than the speed of sound and higher than 300,000 feet above the Earth. This is his story, tracing his childhood, his years as a pilot and POW during World War II, and his rise as an experimental test pilot in the Air Force--; Provided by publisher.
