During more than two decades of uninterrupted flying Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown enjoyed the most extraordinary career of any test pilot and no pilot has a logbook that lists a greater variety of aircraft types flown. The first naval officer to head the élite Aerodynamics Flight at the world renowned Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, ‘Winkle’ Brown fulfilled his childhood ambition to fly German aircraft. Indeed, he was to fly no fewer than 55 individual German aircraft types, ranging from such exotic creations as the push-and-pull Dornier Do 335 and the remarkable little Heinkel He 162 Volksjager to the highly innovative combat types that were entering the inventory of the Luftwaffe shortly before the demise of Germany’s Third Reich.

Free Download Carl-Frederik Geust – Under the Red Star: Luftwaffe Aircraft in the Soviet Air Force
Specialty Press | 1993 | ISBN: 1853103950 | English | 159 pages | PDF | 176.96 MB
One of the few remaining mysteries of World War two has been the extent to which the Soviet Air Force used German aircraft. Based on both Soviet and German records, Under the Red Star tells the full story for the first time. It was known that a number of German aircraft were purchased after the signature of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact in 1939 but what was not known was that a great many captured aircraft types were captured and test-flown during the war and many were used operationally. Under the Red Star fills an important gap in the aviation history of World War Two with over 200 photos, most never before published, and a wealth of text material never before published in the west.
