Description
Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown CBE DSC AFC RN was a national treasure and possibly the greatest test pilot the world has ever known. His tally of 487 aircraft types flown will never be broken, nor will his tally of nearly 2500 carrier deck landings. He also holds numerous firsts - first jet landing on an aircraft carrier, first tricycle undercarriage aircraft carrier landing and first twin engine aircraft carrier landing. An extraordinary career. This book was compiled by Winkle's official biographer, Paul Beaver and includes details of all the aircraft Winkle flew plus many illustrations and commentary from the man himself.
