Summary:  "For many years this 'impossible pilot [Janusz Żurakowski]' - as has been written about him - and true pioneer led an extraordinary life, poised often on the edge. His adventures in flying took on many different forms: beginning with his fledgling glider flights, which left our hero with a long scar on his skull, through the death-defying battles high in the skies over Poland and England during which he shot down a couple of German planes and then had to parachute out to save his own skin, up to his spectacular postwar achievements, shattering the world's speed record, executing acrobatic cartwheels with the jet engine turned off, and test flying nearly 100 new models of aircraft, including what would become a symbol of Canadian national aspiration foiled and an object of fetishism, the supersonic interceptor, CF-105 Avro Arrow."--Back cover.
