“De snelste mens ter wereld.”

Dit boek vertelt de geschiedenis van het absolute wereldsnelheidsrecord en van de eenentwintig piloten die met hun vliegtuigen tot het uiterste gingen om dit te bereiken.Het is een geschiedenis van vindingrijkheid, moed, doorzettingsvermogen en nationale trots!

Het eerste naoorlogse snelheidsrecord, een gemiddelde snelheid van 975 km/u, werd gevestigd op 7 november 1945, het laatste op 28 juli 1976. Op die dag vloog Kapitein Eldon Joersz aan boord van een spionagetoestel ruim 3500 km/u. De SR-71 Blackbird vloog toen een kilometer per seconde of vijfentachtig keer sneller dan de eerste recordhouder, luchtvaartpionier Alberto Santos Dumont, in 1906.
