I felt a little sorry for ‘Winkle’. In normal circumstances, one of the few remaining aviation legends who was regarded by many as the ‘best of the best’ in an era of outstanding test pilots
Flying Lawyer - great photos.
I'm betting just maybe, just maybe, Neil Armstrong grew up with "Winkle" Brown as one of his heros. If I were given the choice as to who's career I would liked to have lived I would probably come down on the side of "Winkle" - hard choice tho. Had "First Man" on the book shelf as soon as it came off the press and only wish that all humanity was imbued with Neils personal qualities.
A genuine celebrity in an age when so many nobodies are regarded, for reasons beyond my comprehension, as 'celebrities'
Aint that the truth. Madonna, et al what price?
