description: 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 fullfrom crashing in front of Winston Churchill to unmasking a Neo-Nazi ring in the 1950s to his terrifying flights in primitive jets and rockets.
