Re: Eric 'Winkle' Brown's Books

I bought the republished "Wings on my Sleeve" during my visit of Duxford Airshow in 2006 and had my copy signed by the man himself!!!!
Lo and behold, he asked me where I come from and when I said Tyrol, he had a big grin in his face and told me that only a few weeks before he had been there with his wife, who also was with him in Duxford and he told me that I will read about Tyrol in the book too as it was there that he met Hanna Reitsch again after the war...

a pretty interesting book this is and one of the gems of my collection, for the signature of Capt. Brown alone
