Flying magic from English test pilot and poet
Lovely little book. English test pilot Harald Penrose started in fabric AVRO bi-planes in 1912, then got to fly Spitfires and jets, all the way to the Comet. He is in love with the sky, the feel of the wing, the rush of the wind, and expresses it all in this book. You feel you are there, reading on unable to put the old book down, yet wanting to take a little plane for a trip around the circuit so bad it hurts. For people who have read Bach, St. Ex., Murchie, this is for you. Not technical, but the feel of flight, the inner thoughts of a poet who really knows airplanes.

A well written, informative book.
This book is typical Penrose, so well written that it is effortless reading. You are left with the feeling that you have just come from a meeting with Chadwick.

Penrose knew everyone in British aviation in this period and it shows. Well worth reading.
