PAPERBACK
The definitive account of the rise and fall of the iconic Concorde plane from British Airways' former Chief Concorde Pilot 'A remarkable story' DAILY EXPRESS 'A stonking good read' FLYER What's it like to fly faster than a bullet? Could you really glimpse the edge of space? Why will we never see Concorde's like again? Mike Bannister was British Airways' Chief Concorde Pilot.
