In 1945 Eric Brown led the team from the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough which scoured the British Zone of Occupation in post war Germany for captured Luftwaffe aircraft and aeronautical installations. They uncovered an Aladdin's cave of aviation riches and amazed by the advanced level of technology and production they found, brought back over a hundred aircraft for detailed testing and analysis.

"Wings of the Luftwaffe". Eric (Winkle) Brown
A compilation of extensive articles by Eric "Winkle" Brown on German aircraft that he "test" flew both during and after World War 2. I regard it as a 'follow up' to Brown's autobiography "Wings on my sleeve" which must be compelling reading for any aviation "buff". A most remarkable pilot.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
