Netflix is currently showing a 50 minute movie of recollections by Royal Navy test pilot Eric "Winkle" Brown entitled Memories of a WWII Hero: Eric Brown. Its stirring stuff. A survivor of the torpedoing and sinking of the escort carrier "Audacity", Eric went on to become the first pilot to land a multi-engined aircraft on a carrier (A D.H. Mosquito with experimental non-feathering props), as well as the first to operate a jet at sea (D.H. Vampire). He became chief test pilot for the Royal Navy and in that capacity flew almost every British, American and German aircraft then flying.
In 1936 while still a student, he traveled to Germany to watch the Olympic Games. There he met Ernst Udet who took him flying in a Jungmann. Eric tells the story of how Udet rolled inverted as he turned finals and rolled right way up again only seconds before the wheels touched.
