Author: John Nichol Narrator: Thomas Judd Format: mp3 Length: 16 hrs and 20 mins Release date: 05-25-23 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 20 ratings Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: Nichol tells the remarkable tale of how the ejection seat was first conceived during the Second World War as countless lives were lost in accidents and in battle. In the wake of the war, that technological race to save aircrew lives using explosive seats continued at an incredible pace. Nichol tells the story of the brave men who risked their lives testing those early devices, and interviewed the first British pilot to eject back in 1949, when ejection, from pulling the handle to being under the parachute, took thirty seconds. Today, that figure is down to around one second.
