Eric Brown went to Germany in 1939 on an exchange course; and his first experience of the war came when the Gestapo arrested him; not knowing he was an RAF pilot. The rest is history. He is the only man alive to have flown every major and most minor combat aircraft of the Second World War (as well as all the early jets); and has been interviewed by the top Nazis. While testing the Nazi jets in war-stricken Germany; he interviewed (among others) Hermann Goering and Hanna Reitsch. 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.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Sister QueensBy Mary E. BarnhillI don't know if the author became confused while writing this or just did not care about accuracy. I am not quite half way through the book and have noticed a number of places where the author cites a person's age as 10; then as 17 a year later; then a bit later as 13. She also has confused characters and historical facts about them. I have been a devotee of English history for over 50 years and anticipated reading this book to learn more of these two women if whom little has been written. However; the errors are extremely distracting and if one was not already aware would serve as incorrect information. I will be much more cautious about what books I order in the future.
