‘No Echo in the Sky’ is a delightfully written book where Harald Penrose draws on personal experiences from his long and distinguished career. Harald Penrose was chief test pilot at Westland Aircraft Ltd from 1931 to 1953 and his flying experience spanned man carrying kites before the First World War, to early jet fighters and helicopters. With lyrical prose matching that of Laurie Lee he provides pen sketches of almost unsurpassed beauty.
