Based on hours of test flights in a variety of aircraft and interviews with scores of naval and civilian test pilots and engineers at Pax River, it provides a very personal inside look at the challenges and dangers facing naval test pilots in the 1990s.~ An up-to-date analysis of the Tailhook incident in the final chapter includes material from Wilson's interview with Lt. Paula Coughlin, aide to the Commander of the Naval Air Test Center.".
