One though to J.Adams

The best book I have read on this story is this one from Thompson, one of the test pilot of the NASA (ex-Bell) . In this book you have the detailled retranscrition of radio com during the last tragic flight of Adams. A thrilling read when his plane departed at hypersonic flight during re-entry (I am in a spin... I am in a spin) - nothing he could hve done with such primary flight ctrls
