Always Another Dawn: The Story of a Rocket Test Pilot 

Step into the cockpit with one of the greatest test pilots of the 20th century! This first edition 1960 hardcover of Always Another Dawn is a must-have for aviation, space, and military history collectors. Complete with its original dust jacket, this rare volume tells the electrifying story of A. Scott Crossfield, the fearless test pilot who helped pave the way for space exploration.

Before astronauts reached orbit, Crossfield was already pushing the limits of human flight, soaring to the edge of space in the X-15 rocket plane, a predecessor to the Space Shuttle. His firsthand account—written with esteemed journalist Clay Blair Jr.—offers a thrilling look into the dangerous world of experimental aviation, where every flight could be his last. From his time as a Navy pilot in World War II to breaking barriers in cutting-edge aircraft, Crossfield’s journey is one of unparalleled bravery, scientific breakthroughs, and the relentless pursuit of the next frontier.
