Available Copies Details Synopsis

Thompsons adrenaline-fueled account of the X-15 program is the ultimate insiders view: he flew as one of the twelve test pilots. These men truly had the right stuff, essentially piloting a seat strapped to a rocket 300,000 feet into the airright to the edge of space. Its all here, from late-night uncertainties in desert bars to the monumental technical challenges, to the record-breaking flights themselves.
