Product Information
The daring life and astonishing adventures of Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown - Britain's greatest-ever pilot. Few people have what it takes to become a test pilot. You need incredible skill, extraordinary daring - and nerves of steel when things go wrong. Eric 'Winkle' Brown was the best. From fighting in the Battle of Britain, narrowly escaping death on a torpedoed aircraft carrier, to achieving aviation records few thought possible, by his death in 2016 Winkle was a legend, and had flown more kinds of aircraft than any pilot in history. This is the definitive account of the pilot who set the standard for Britain's golden age of aviation - a life story as remarkable as his flying.Product Identifiers
