From Orville and Wilbur Wright’s first powered flight to the work of NASA, test pilots have braved new frontiers and soared into space. Risk and reward are all part of a day’s work. Test pilots must be in top physical condition, attend special schools, and participate in a difficult training process. They test planes to make sure they achieve high performance and are safe to fly—not a job for the faint of heart. 32 pages, full-color photographs, paperback, HI-LO (Reading level grade 3).
