Just got the book, superb and brought back many memories of my own ejection 60 years ago ( (JP4 XP 635) training over Northumberland as mentioned in the early pages.
Still vividly remember the 4,700 feet descent in the seat, in cloud, before the chute opened just as I was about to start the manual separation ! 1 Chute panel tore ( it opened with a hell of a bang after the freefall) resulting in slight spin making PSP release impossible. But, thank you MB, and the real heroes, who did the early live testing, you delivered me to the ground in one piece.
A great read, must finish it this evening !
