Yes it is a great book, he has done more in a lunch hour than most of us would in a lifetime.
I was lucky enough to spend an hour in his company, a couple of years ago, where he was happy to answer my questions on what it was like really flying some of these incredible aircraft.
He was an absolute gentleman of the highest order and the memory of that day is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
There is nobody else in the world who can compete with what Eric did as a test pilot, he has flown the lot!
