A firsthand account of life as a captain flying Concorde - the supersonic marvel that redefined air travel. With breathtaking speed and unparalleled luxury, Concorde soared at 60,000 feet, allowing its passengers to witness the earth's curvature and the deep blue of outer space. For Brian Walpole, who piloted this engineering masterpiece at Mach 2, it was an experience like no other - a demanding, thrilling and ultimately life-changing career. Captain Concorde by Brian Walpole OBE (with Graham Lacey) provides a unique perspective on the precision and skill required to control an aircraft that was the darling of the world's elite. Not to mention transporting the Ryder Cup on the flight deck or paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II with a flypast of Royal Yacht Britannia in Barbados! But beyond the glamour and awe, he reveals the intense pressures and behind-the-scenes challenges that came with commanding the world's fastest passenger plane.
