SECOND HAND BOOKS

804719/17 - WINGS OF THE WEIRD & WONDERFUL Volume 2 by Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown

By Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown CBE DSC AFC RN

Captain Eric Brown has flown more types of aircraft than any pilot in the world - a fact established after years of international research.

He is also the most decorated test pilot Britain has ever produced, and has many 'firsts' to his credit in aviation history. In this second volume of 'Wings of the Weird & Wonderful' he takes his readers into the cockpits of some rare and unusual aircraft as well as some well-known ones he has flown.

Captain Brown analyses their flight characteristics with the critical assessment of the skilled test pilot, and reveals some of the idiosyncrasies and delight of a very varied assortment of 35 types of British, American, Japanese and German aircraft.

Condition: Light wear to jacket but otherwise a really nice clean copy throughout in almost "as new" condition.
