Synopsis
This is the fully revised and updated story of how British and American test pilots pierced the sound barrier in the late 1940s, support with many new photographs. Since then much has happened in the advancement of supersonic flight. As recently as 2003, tens of thousands of fare-paying passengers were routinely enjoying transatlantic intercontinental air travel at speeds of up to Mach 2 on Concorde. Internationally acclaimed best-selling aviation author Bill Gunston OBE describes in accessible style the rules and technologies of supersonic flight, developments in engine and airframe technology, the age of supersonic passenger transports, and advances in supersonic fighter and bomber design.

    Excellent five star seller...best of the best. Very high quality packing, prompt shipping. Seller's product descriptions and photos can be relied on to be accurate and with full disclosure. Prices are reasonable and compare favorably with others offering similar products. The difference is the service. Buyer continues to be pleased...just purchased two long-out-of-print but new never opened books about railroad structure modeling. Seller promptly refunds overpayment of ship cost. Another plus!

    I purchased a group of three new books from Golden Age Books. The books received were new as shown and described in the listing. The books looked perfect. They were packaged very well and arrived undamaged. The seller combined shipping and issued a refund for the excess charges. I will continue to purchase from this seller. This was a problem free transaction.

    This book, one of three purchased from Golden Age Books, was accurately described, very carefully packed and promptly shipped. Shipped with the second book as Combined Shipping, GAB partially refunded their shipping fee. This was unsolicited and greatly appreciated. A great transaction that earns a 5-STAR rating. Thanks!
