Introduction

Note that some chief test pilots are titled "Chief Engineering Test Pilots", likely to distinguish them from chief production acceptance test pilots or chief test pilots of individual plants.

Note that some of the dates are not necessarily when the pilot started in his position, only when they were confirmed to have had the job.
