Ever since the Wright Brothers first took to the air, engineers have dreamed of flying airliners faster than the speed of sound, a race that gained momentum in November 1962 when the British and French governments signed a treaty to jointly develop Concorde. While Concorde has retired, Supersonic looks into what is happening today, the aircraft and engines under development, the regulatory framework, environmental concerns and where a new supersonic aircraft will have an impact. It also delves into the history of supersonic flight and the lessons learned from developing and operating Concorde that are shaping the future at OEMs including Boom, Comac, GE, Boeing, NASA, Lockheed Martin and China's Mach-4 Cuantianhou (Soaring Monkey) scheduled to make its maiden flight in 2026.

Ten Fighter Boys
<p>The extraordinary stories of ten fighter pilots, told in their very own words during the Second World War.</p> <p>First published by Collins in 1942, this utterly compelling collection of first-hand accounts of ten fighter pilots' experiences at the helm of the Spitfires of 66 Squadron paints one of the most realistic depictions of the battle for the skies over wartime Europe.</p> <p>Offering incredible personal insights into the wartime experience - both in the air and on the ground - the stories are told with unaffected zest, by men who were living in the constant presence of death.</p> <p>Five of the original contributors were killed before the book was originally printed, including the books editors, Wing Commander Athol Forbes and Squadron Leader Hubert Allen. Jimmy Corbin, the last surviving contributor and author of the foreword, passed away in December 2012.</p> <p>Written right in the middle of the war, in the pilots' own words, Ten Fighter Pilots is a truly original and unique account of a terrifying time.</p>
