Swoop73 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 In 2007 in Columbus, OH, I was a legend Host at the Gathering of Mustangs. As a volunteer, one of my jobs was to pick up arriving air show guests at the airport. Jim Brooks was the first person I was assigned. That half hour drive went by in a heartbeat. What an amazing life. After the War, he was a test pilot. We've all seen those 1950's photos of jet fighters "F94's?" launching off the back of a truck with a JATO bottle. He was in the plane for several of those launches. What a ride that must have been. Amazing. Great guy.
Merlin-27 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 In the book Mustang Ace by Bob Goebel, Jim Books is mentioned many times.
