HARDCOVER SIZE: 6 by 9 inches SIGNATURES: Hand-signed on a bookplate by Spitfire Test Pilot: Alex Henshaw 210 pages ISBN: 0719535751 Hard to find 1979 hardcover edition with beautiful signed bookplate! While not a combat pilot, Henshaw’s contribution to the war effort can not be overstated. His incredible wartime experiences are detailed in this autobiography. Alex Henshaw spent the early days of World War II at Eastleigh, England, testing the immortal Spitfire fighter with Jeffrey Quill before being appointed Chief Test Pilot at Supermarine's new factory in Castle Bromwich. Thousands of Spitfires were tested and manufactured at this site throughout the war, by the end of which 37,000 test flights had been made with Alex Henshaw flying an estimated ten percent of all Spitfires ever built. Often landing without aids of any kind, his breathtaking aerobatic style and complete mastery of the aircraft were to save his life on several occasions. Shelved in a non-smoking, climate-controlled home. Check my feedback - it's excellent. I ask for the same consideration from you. Please follow through on your bid and pay promptly.
