Harper & Row:, 1961. 224 pages, illustrated with 32 pages of b&w photographs. "Here is a book with not only exciting tales of bravery and endurance but also with definite historical and reference value in the field of aeronautics. Testing Times traces the development of the combined art and science of test piloting throughout the whole fifty years of powered flight. Constance Babington-Smith, though not a pilot herself, has for years been closely associated with aeronautics and Photo Intelligence. Also the last chapter surveys the whole incredibly swift evolution of powered flight and the new challenges which jet engines, vastly increased speeds, and other late developments present."
