Description
After Word War II, the best flyers brought their versatility to the exacting role of test pilot. The Chosen Ones puts you in the cockpit with these pilots as they make whatever can go wrong with an aircraft go wrong before anyone else flies it. These are their gripping tales -- most told here for the first time -- of taking unproven prototypes into the air and of what happened in those heart-stopping moments when they succeeded.
