Corky's English test pilots quote was great, "The entrance into the cockpit was most difficult, it should have been made impossible".

@bobsage4963 ~ I like Eric winkle Brown so much better than the likes of Sir Elton John, Sir Patrick Stewart, and Sir Paul McCarthy, these entertainers cheapen the title "Sir". -- They should have awarded Capt. Brown the Victoria Cross, he certainly had courage and nerve like none other and was a major contributor to the Allied war effort and post war aircraft design. He was an amazing man.

@DrivermanO ~ Maybe the de Havilland DH 108 "Swallow" could be considered the enemy? It did killed Geoffrey de Havilland Jr, but Eric lived after nearly dying from the flying the Swallow, he had a lot of nerve and everybody respects that. Then again, Eric was an elite test pilot and it was his job to push the limits of aircraft envelopes, and this was routine practice throughout his career. As for the Victoria Cross being awarded to celebrities who never displayed extreme gallantry in life threatening situations, this seems more politically earned than for courageous reasons.

@mothmagic1 ~ That's sounds about right.
