In the Cockpit with Bob Hoover, previously released as an ebook, is now available in print. The book is the second volume in Passion for Flight, a series of short biographies regarding notable pilots who inspire young and old alike to take to the skies.
Bob Hoover was shot down on Feb. 9, 1944, and spent 15 years as a prisoner of war. He was later assigned to Wright Field as a test pilot and served as Chuck Yeager’s backup pilot for the X-1 program. He left the military in 1948, joined General Motor’s Allison Division as a test pilot, and later tested and demonstrated airplanes for North American Aviation/Rockwell International.
He flew popular aerobatic demonstrations in airplanes including a Shrike Commander 500S and well-known P-51. In more than 50 years of flying, the legendary air show pilot performed aerobatics in more airplane types, events and countries, and before more people, than anyone in the history of aviation.
The first book in the series, In the Cockpit with Chuck Yeager, and In the Cockpit with Bob Hoover are presently available through Amazon and on Gen. Yeager’s website, in the Right Stuff Store.
