'Talkdown' by Tony Barwick

When a prototype F116 aircraft crashes, Joe is given the brain patterns of top test pilot Jim Grant and then sent off in a second prototype in order to find out what went wrong. However, Grant's fear of landing leaves the young boy in trouble – and unless someone can talk him down, there will be a second crash…
