Wings of the Weird and Wonderful Volume 2

Captain Eric Brown has flown more types of aircraft than any pilot in the world - a fact established after years of international research. He is also the most decorated test pilot Britain has ever produced, and has many `firsts' to his credit in aviation history. In this second volume of "Wings of the Weird & Wonderful" he takes his readers into the cockpits of some rare and unusual aircraft as well as some well-known ones he has flown. Not all were a pleasure to fly, while others were quite superb.
Captain Brown analyses their flight characteristics with the critical assessment of the skilled test pilot, and reveals some of the idiosyncrasies and delights of a very varied assortment of 35 types of British, American, Japanese and German aircraft.
