Beskrivning

En klassiker och ett måste för flygintresserade.

The autobiography of one of the greatest pilots in history. In 1939
Eric Brown was on a University of Edinburgh exchange course in Germany,
and the first he knew of the war was when the Gestapo came to arrest
him. They released him, not realising he was a pilot in the RAF
volunteer reserve: and the rest is history. Eric Brown joined the Fleet
Air Arm and went on to be the greatest test pilot in history, flying
more different aircraft types than anyone else. During his lifetime he
made a record-breaking 2,407 aircraft carrier landings and survived
eleven plane crashes. One of Britain's few German-speaking airmen, he
went to Germany in 1945 to test the Nazi jets, interviewing (among
others) Hermann Goering and Hanna Reitsch. He flew the suicidally
dangerous Me 163 rocket plane, and tested the first British jets. WINGS
ON MY SLEEVE is 'Winkle' Brown's incredible story.
