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.
