A darn fine read, I enjoyed it immensly. Finely crafted & highly detailed, depiction of burecratic idiocy trumped by the stalwart determination and courage of our test-pilots. Purchase this book and read something good about America for a change!

One of my favorite stories, until I researched many of the facts for myself. Tom Wolfe did an excellent job writing the mostly-true tales of the "History of the Future"... Filled with viberant characters, thought-provoking twists, and an ending straight of out Hollywood, this is the tale that launched (punt intented) Chuck Yeager into super-stardom. Worth the price, and take the facts at face-value.
