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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in burgundy cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a boo…k weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. 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.
