Anyone heard of this test pilot?
I may be asking a dumb question here, but has anyone heard of a test pilot by the name of Commander William Benson? He apparently flew the Gloster Meteor as well as the German jet types - at least the Me 262 and He 162.
His rank being Commander suggests a naval connection and though I am led to believe there was a connection with Farnborough and Brize Norton, he may, of course, be/have been American.
I have checked a number of heavyweight books and his name is not listed.
If any one can give me any information on this pilot, I would be most grateful.
Many thanks.
