Capt Eric Brown CBE, DSC, AFC, FRAeS, RN
I'm am trying to gather some sources about this fine pilot for a US/UK military staff college biography paper. Background info from Wikepedia states:
'Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, CBE, DSC, AFC, FRAeS, RN is a former Royal Navy officer and test pilot who has flown more types of aircraft than anyone else in history. He is also the Fleet Air Arm’s most decorated pilot. Born circa 1920, he first flew when he was 18. After World War II‚ Brown commanded Enemy Aircraft Flight, an elite group of pilots who test-flew captured German aircraft. That experience makes Brown one of the few men qualified to compare both Allied and Axis "warbirds" as they actually flew during the war. He flight-tested 53 German aircraft, including the Me 163 rocket plane and the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet plane.'
I haven't had any sucess with RN websites or other search engines, therefore can anyone provide some help (I have already read his book). I am currently in the US, so I don't have access to public records office/UK museums, etc
Thanks in advance for any help.
