I enjoyed Brown's book immensely, but wished it had been longer, as I am sure there were more interesting tales to tell.

It appears those tales, or at least some of them, are probably available to read now, in a new book about Winkle Brown.

Winkle: The Extraordinary Life of Britain’s Greatest Pilot Winkle: The Extraordinary Life of Britain’s Greatest Pilot
by Paul Beaver (published June 2023)

"Now, 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.

A story Winkle insisted could only be told after his death . . ."
