Pilotage Moto

i decided to take all aviation courses for the fall and i got a study guide book for the AFAST. is this going to help me? i need some advice. what can i expect?

I watched this movie when i was a child and loved it. but i cant seem to remember the name… I remember that it started out with these two young hot shot pilots for the airforce. They tested all the best aircraft at the time. Even crashed a few. Then one of the men died i believe, and the other main character went on to fly the Bell x-1. First man to go mach 1… anyone recognize this? its driving me crazy
