British Flight Testing : Martlesham Heath 1920 - 1939

This beautiful book, which contains detailed texts and photographs, is about aircraft flight testing by the newly formed R.A.F. in the interwar years.

In British Flight Testing : Martlesham Heath 1920 - 1939 the author traces the development of landplanes testing during the whole period between the two World Wars. While the aeroplanes form the main subject of the book, the author has not neglected the aerodrome and its development, nor the men who included all the outstanding test pilots of the time.

Tim Mason is an author specialised in aviation, who has written a number of books over the very subject, such as The Cold War Years : Flight Testing at Boscombe down 1945 - 1975 ( 2001 ), The Secret Years : Flight Testing at Boscombe Down 1939 - 1945 ( 2010 ) and The Seaplane Years ( 2010 ).
