Title: Read the Other Side of the Test Card
Review: Test pilots have a test card on their kneeboards that outlines the goals of a test flight. Stick pressure, spin characteristics, roll rate, etc, etc. Under pressure, they know they must "Fly The Card." John Moore's book is about the other side of the test card. It is about his life and times and is told in a home-spun way. It is a book about naval aviators both in combat and in testing where test pilots smooth the air of turbulent designs. Those who criticize the book for not being literary enough are obviously not pilots nor lovers of aviation history as told by the right man in the right place at the right time.This review is by Mark Berent, author of the five-book Rolling Thunder Vietnam airwar series found on Kindle and Smashwords.
