Interesting bio of a NACA/NASA test pilot who was blessed with being in the right place at the right time. With a flight career that covered the SNJ to the XB-70, Mr. Mallick flew everything from the exotic to the mundane. There is a fair amount of "between the lines" commentary in the book as well. The chapters covering the NACA to NASA transition are worth paying extra attention to and could be perceived as a harbinger of what NASA has become today.I would have enjoyed reading a bit more about the General Aviation flight testing he was involved in,especially because he flew some aircraft that had less than safe reputations along with the Wing Derringer but I am probably in the minority.Other than a few oblique comments such as "the Seventies were turbulent times." Discussion about politics and the general take over by and orientation towards space flight is generally minimal. In my opinion Mr. Mallick has been very generous towards NASA in what he has not discussed, instead remaining focused for the most part on his career and the aircraft he flew.Highly recommended for those with an interest in Test Flight, Aviation History, and the history of the NASA Lifting Body Program.
A good book! I don't think Mallick is going to win awards for his prose, but the book is well-organized and thoughtful. In a welcome change from some test pilot autobiographies, the author's focus is on the actual job of being a test pilot, not on flashy record-breaking incidents; nor does he spend a lot of pages grumbling about the politics of the job. It's just good meaty detail, of the "in the trenches" sort. In addition to the XB-70, YF-12A, and some other high-profile jobs he writes a lot about work he did with airliners, with oddball research vehicles never meant for operational use, even chasing storms to study downdrafts. Mallick is the sort of pilot who seems happy if he can find a way to get paid to fly, and doesn't get caught up in the drama and ego games. I learned a lot of things about research pilot work that simply aren't discussed much in the X-15 books. A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting read for any aviation buff.
I have been a fan of aeronautics all my life. I recently retired from a 42 year career as a pilot. It was a dream come true.The Smell of Kerosene was a side of NASA that is rarely revealed--the aeronautics side. While I have read voraciously about the Space Program, aeronautics is where my roots have always been. Now, while there have been many excellent books about the SR-71, Mr. Mallick is a guy who not only flew that machine but also the XB-70! His words in this book about the XB-70 are about the only account of that program that I've read that are from a pilot's standpoint.Aside from those two highlights Don Mallick flew the widest variety of air machines that I have ever heard a person flying. Sailplanes, helos, carrier ops, lunar lander simulator, you name it. Also, when NACA or NASA was not using him as a test pilot he was flying piston transports hauling people and trash all over.Very enjoyable book. I highly recommend it.
Interesting read for the aircraft buff. Very detailed/complete history of the genesis of the US government aircraft development and flight test programs' and the evolution of NASA early transition from extreme high altitude aircraft to manned space vehicles. A very complete/detailed and personal history written buy one of the top test pilots of all time.At times, a bit too detailed account of the day-to-day management issues at a government agency, but well worth the "real meat" accounts of minute-by-minute test flights/accidents/problems and personal experiences/observations of this remarkable "behind the scenes" dedicated American hero.
At times the aircraft and the nuances of each unique aircraft are more interesting than the story itself. Much of the technology and aircraft (and space achievements) that we tend to take for granted today are made possible by the groundbreaking men and their machines in the early days of jets and very high performance airplanes in the early days of aeronautics. Some of the early tests that Mr. Mallick described were done barely 10 years after the introduction of jet propelled aircraft. He calmly walks the reader through experiences that were crucial to the growth of NASA and the space race, but nonetheless had to be breathtaking to those early pilots. A most interesting read for anyone with more than a passing interest in the early days of advanced aeronautics.
The Smell of Kerosene, Donald L. Mallieck NASA History Series. This book is a seat of the pants story about a test pilot form basic training as a Navy Pilot to the edge of space. He started flying in an AT-6 Texan for training, a tail dragger during basic training advancing to F-80 Shooting Star jet and carrier based aircraft. After Navy returned to school and started work for NACA in flight testing anything that flew. NACA became NASA in 1958 and ushered in the space age it was quite evident space flight was top priority. I liked his report on the AD4 Skyhawk which was the aircraft I worked with while in the Navy. He then headed to Muroc AFB now Edwards in honor of Glen Edwards killed while testing YB-49 Northrop’s flying wing. High Speed and High Altitude started with the X-1 ending with the X-15 a rocket powered flying laboratory for over ten years. He did not fly this plain but was active with the program. He was one of the two earth pilots to evaluate the LLTV Lunar Landing Training Vehicle. Suffered the loss of team mate and became his replacement pilot on the XB-70, Fun tasks to study Aurora Borealis, then pilot to the Blackbirds YF-12 and SR-71 these were super-secret spy planes flying Mack 3 plus 70, 000 ft. and above the book spends considerable time on test objectives and the results test at times is quite technical for non-engineers, however the book balances with personal incites
