Cpt. Eric "Winkle" Brown books
S! all.
I just discovered Cpt. Brown wrote 2 Wings of the Weird and Wonderful, volume 1 and 2 I have Vol 1, so what is in Vol 2? And now a new book is out, Wings of the Luftwaffe: Flying German Aircraft of World War II Is that pretty much the same reviews in a new package? Is there somewhere a full list of aircraft he reviewed? Thanks |

Re: Cpt. Eric "Winkle" Brown books
I believe the new edition of Wings on the Luftwaffe combines entries from the old edition plus from the Wings of the Weird&Wonderful volumes.
WotW&W volume 2 includes, if I remember it right, at least following aircraft: Marauder, Me 410, Ju 188, Ju 290, P-38, P-51, Westland Welkin, Winter Zaunkönig.

Did the 1983 WotW&W be split into 2 books? Last edited by Flying_pencil; 11th October 2010 at 06:08. |

Flying pencil´s list of volume 1´s coverage should include B&V 138 and B&V 222.

Re: Cpt. Eric "Winkle" Brown books
Hello FP
Yes it seems that we have even more common than the interest in a/c and pilots’ opinions on them . And yes, there is very much overlap. Now I remember why I didn’t buy a fairly high priced copy of 1983 WotW&W when I saw it in one second-hand catalogue with a partial list of a/c it contained. Besides those in the 1983 WotW&W Vol 2 I had already some of them published in Air Internationals. Nowadays I think that maybe I should have bought it because of Meteors, P-39 and P-63. BV 141 and Miles M.39B Libellula would also have been interesting, but I doubt that there is much on the first one, of which I have always been fascinating on. Juha |

Re: Cpt. Eric "Winkle" Brown books
Well, at least one of the WotW&W volumes I had did feature the B&V 138 and the B&V 222. I can´t check it since I no longer have the books
