Testing Tornado: Cold War Naval Fighter Pilot to BAe Chief Test Pilot by J. David Eagles AFC
English | September 1st, 2016 | ISBN: 0750968419 | 176 pages | True EPUB | 6.63 MB
During the early Cold War days when 17-year-old David Eagles applied to the Fleet Air Arm hoping to be a fighter pilot for his National Service, he little imagined the lifetime career that was to follow. After Flying Training with the US Navy and loan Service with the Australian Fleet Air Arm, he settled into Fleet Air Arm fighter pilot life.​

Selected to attend the Empire Test Pilots' School, he progressed through Naval Test Pilot duties and was forced to eject from a Buccaneer during catapult launch trials. He joined British Aerospace and played a major part in the cockpit design and flight testing of the RAF's first fly by wire and swing wing aircraft, the Panavia Tornado, finishing a fascinating career by making the first flight of the EAP, the technology demonstrator for the new Eurofighter Typhoon.
