Absolutely over the top test pilot, airman. Few could hold a candle to his achievements and yet he always remained a true gentleman.

God speed, Bill Dana

Indeed. Had to pull out my copy Milt Thompsons book, "At the Edge Of Space", to refresh my memory on Mr. Dana's X-15 time. A great book highlighting an amazing time in flight reasearch.

Read a good magazine article on him some years ago - is there a biography at all?


A long life well lived.
Hear hear.
