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.
