Eric Brown was on a University of Edinburgh exchange course in Germany in 1939 and the first he knew of the war was when the Gestapo came to arrest him. They released him not realizing he was a pilot in the RAF volunteer reserve: and the rest is history. Eric Brown joined the Fleet Air Arm and went on to be the greatest test pilot in history flying more different aircraft types than anyone else. He is the only man alive who has flown every major (and most minor) combat aircraft of the Second World War as well as all the early jets. Speaking perfect German he went to Germany in 1945 to test the Nazi jets interviewing (among others) Hermann Goering and Hanna Reitsch. He flew the suicidally dangerous Me 163 rocket plane and tested the first British jets. He would have been the first man to break the sound barrier except that the British government cancelled the programme and gave the technology to America. His naval career continues to this day as he advises on the new aircraft carrier design for the Royal Navy. A living legend among aviation enthusiasts his amazing life story deserves to be told in full -- from crashing in front of Winston Churchill to unmasking a Neo-Nazi ring in the 1950s to his terrifying flights in primitive jets and rockets.
