Against the Sun by Edward Lanchbery; The story of Wing Commander Roland 'Bee' Beaumont,Fighter Pilot and Hawker Test Pilot for the Typhoon and Tempest, then after the war the test pilot for the English Electric Canberra and Lightning.

Concur with Youngmic re 'Fly for your Life.' The story of Bob Tuck.

A great read and absolutely hilarious!
