Dust jacket has minor edge wear and some bumping to top and bottom of spine as well. During more than two decades of uninterrupted flying Eric 'Winkle' Brown enjoyed the most extraordinary career of any test pilot and no pilot has a logbook that lists a greater variety of aircraft types flown. The first naval officer to head the élite Aerodynamics Flight at the world renowned Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, 'Winkle' Brown fulfilled his childhood ambition to fly German aircraft. Indeed, he was to fly no fewer than 55 individual German aircraft types, ranging from such exotic creations as the push-and-pull Dornier Do 335 and the remarkable little Heinkel He 162 Volksjager to the highly innovative combat types that were entering the inventory of the Luftwaffe shortly before the demise of Germany's Third Reich. 'Winkle' Brown also interrogated many of the leading German wartime aviation personalities, such as Willy Messerschmitt, Ernst Heinkel, Kurt Tank, and Hanna Reitsch. From his unique knowledge of German aviation, 'Winkle' Brown has selected the most important and most promising aircraft employed by the Luftwaffe and those evolved for that air arm in Germany during World War II--the true wings of the Luftwaffe. He describes their background and characteristics, and together with more than 200 photographs, color profiles, and sectional drawings provides an in-depth assessment of the contribution made to the annals of military aviation in the late 1930s and early 1940s by an aircraft industry that proved itself truly second to none in ingenuity.…

Eric 'Winkle' Brown the author was a pilot who has enjoyed one ofg the most extraordinary careers in flying. He was the first naval officer to head the elite Aerodynamics Flight at Farnborough where he tested captured German types at the end of World War Two. In this book he records his 'from the cockpit' experiences testing British and American carrier aircraft. Carrier operations are potentially the harshest and most dangerous test aircraft and pilot can face. Landing on the pitching, bucking deck of a carrier or catapulted over a plunging bow, shipboard aircraft had to be exceptional. Their real characters have been forgotten and distorted over the passage of time; now this book places on record the flying characteristics, good, bad and indifferent, of aircraft as varied as the Fairey Swordfish and Grumman Hellcat. Sixteen types are covered, each illustrated with cutaways, cockpit details and many photographs. Ref HHH 1.…

In this book Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown takes his readers into the cockpits of some rare and unusual aircraft as well as some well known ones he has flown during the period 1938 - 1950. Captain brown analyses their flight characteristics with the critical assessment of the skilled test pilot, and reveals some of the idiosyncrasies and delights of a very varied assortment of forty four aircraft. The most impressive flights were those made in captured German aircraft, without pilots notes, without a breifing and with no knowledge of the airworthyness of the aircraft or engine. All he had was fluent German, many years of experience and "feel". Ref M 4.…
