I keep seeing "one of the greatest", or "Britain's greatest" and absolutely agree.
I can think of one man only, whose contributions to aviation perhaps come close to Eric Brown's, and that's Neil Armstrong. But NA had a much shorter career, and put far less effort into sharing his lessons and experience.
So, "World's greatest, ever" sits very well with me as a description of Eric Brown - I really don't think it needs qualifiers.
