WINKLE (BRITAINS GREATEST PILOT) (PB)

Eric 'Winkle' Brown’s unparalleled flying career saw him take the controls of over four hundred different kinds of aircraft - more than any other pilot in history. A rival to Chuck Yeager and hero to Neil Armstrong, Winkle had become a legend in his own lifetime, and by his death, a national treasure. Drawing on previously unseen documents and unfettered access to Winkle's own personal archive, Paul Beaver uncovers the complex and enigmatic man behind the legend - the real story of Britain's greatest pilot.
