Winkle

About

Small in stature but immense in reputation and talent, there was more to Eric 'Winkle' Brown than met the eye.
From shooting down Luftwaffe bombers from the deck of a carrier in the Battle of the Atlantic and narrowly escaping death when his ship was torpedoed, to accumulating a never-to-be repeated litany of world records and firsts as a test pilot, his unparalleled flying career saw him take the controls of over four hundred different kinds of aircraft - more than any other pilot in history.
But despite his enormous fame, there have always been mysteries at the heart of Winkle's story. Join Paul Beaver as he uncovers the real story of Britain's greatest pilot. Paul will be signing copies of his new book (pictured).
