Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In December 1943, a top secret contract (E.24/43) was awarded to Miles Aircraft. The contract was to build the world's first supersonic jet capable of 1000mph. The only reliable source of data on supersonic objects came from the Armament Research Dept and their wind tunnel tests on ammunition. From this, Miles developed an exceptionally thin-winged, bullet-shaped aircraft. the research was inexplicably passed to the Americans in 1944. By December 1945, one prototype was virtually complete. The second, destined for an attempt at the sound barrier was 80 per cent complete. In February 1946, Capt Eric Brown was confirmed as the test pilot and October 1946 was set for the supersonic trials. However, on 12 February 1946, Miles were ordered to stop production. No plausible explanation was given for the cancellation when Britain was within six months of breaking the sound barrier. Eric Brown and others directly involved including Dennis Bancroft, the Chief Aerodynamicist on the M.52, have now come together to try and finally solve the mystery behind the cancellation. AUTHOR: Captain Eric Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, QCUSA, RN, was a former Royal Navy officer and test pilot who is listed in the 'Guinness Book of World Records' as holding the record for flying the greatest number of different aircraft. Dennis Bancroft, C.Eng, MRAeS, was the Miles chief aerodynamicist. 98 b/w illustrations The only personal account of the development of the M.52 and the mystery behind its cancellation Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condizione: very good condition. Was the Hellcat a greater fighter than the Zeke? The Spitfire better than the FW 190? The Stuka a more effective dive bomber than the Dauntless? - Questions such as these have long provoked disputes among aviation enthusiasts, who to this day argue the merits of one World War II airplane over another and attempt to relive their phenomenal duels in the sky. Now one of the greatest naval aviators of all time puts these controversies to rest. In this book the Royal Navy's famed test pilot Captain Eric Brown pits various Allied and Axis aircraft against one another in theoretical combat to determine which deserve to be called the greatest. - Drawing on his own experiences test-flying these planes, Captain Brown evaluates their strengths and weaknesses and in dramatic single-combat scenarios decides the victors. Even potentially classic duels that never occurred - aerial fights between friends and between combatants from different operational theaters - are included in his scenarios. These pages are also filled with valuable technical descriptions and subjective impressions of Allied naval aircraft and their opponents, all put in historical perspective by Captain Brown's fascinating narrative of the air war. Having flown a remarkably wide range of captured German, Italian, and Japanese combat airplanes, he is able to offer unique insights into the handling characteristics of enemy aircraft. He follows his assessments of individual warplanes with a final, comparative analysis of the top fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers. - A highly decorated World War II fighter pilot himself, Captain Brown is eminently qualified to write this book. He holds world records for flying the greatest variety of aircraft (487) and for completing the greatest number of carrier landings (2,400). By applying his extensive technical knowledge to the flight evaluations and combat verdicts presented here, he settles questions that have remained unanswered for decades. 222 p. many photos Hardcover with dust jacket, large format.
