Punching Out: Stories of High-Speed Ejections by James Cross
"Punching Out" is a unique collection of firsthand stories of the rare individuals who have been baptised by rocket fire, pushed beyond the edge of endurance, and experienced face-to-face encounters with their own mortality. These are the pilots who have survived high-speed ejections and lived to tell their stories to a new generation. Except for aerospace technical manuals and periodicals, this represents the first major body of work on this subject from an experienced perspective.
