Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Henshaw considered enlisting in the Royal Air Force at the start of the Second World War he instead became a test pilot for Vickers Armstrong. He subsequently took the rank of Sgt Pilot to fly a fully armed Spitfire to defend the factory, if needed, although he was never called upon to fly in combat. Henshaw started with Wellingtons and Walruses at Weybridge. He did not enjoy the work, and was on the point of leaving when Jeffrey Quill invited him to test Spitfires in Southampton. In June 1940, Henshaw moved to the Castle Bromwich factory in Birmingham, which had been taken over by Vickers after poor production results by the Nuffield group. He was soon appointed to the post of Chief Test Pilot, leading a team of 25 others. The factory built over half of the total output of Spitfires ever made, and 350 Lancaster heavy bombers; Henshaw tested both types of aircraft. Production/acceptance test flying was essential, ensuring that faults were detected before aircraft were delivered to the front line, but it was potentially dangerous: two of his team were killed testing new aircraft. Henshaw survived many forced landings and a catastrophic crash between two houses in Wednesfield near Wolverhampton on 18 July 1942 which destroyed his aircraft. It is estimated that Henshaw flew 10% of all Spitfires and Seafires, testing up to 20 aircraft a day in often foggy conditions. He would also demonstrate the Spitfire to visiting dignitaries, such as Winston Churchill, and once flying the length of Broad Street in Birmingham at low level. He is the only pilot known to have performed a barrel roll in a Lancaster bomber, a feat that was considered by some to be reckless or impossible due to the aircraft's size and relatively modest performance.

Erstausgabe
Softcover. Zustand: very good condition. First Edition - - Alex Henshaw's "Sigh for a Merlin" has been acclaimed as one of the best books on the Spitfire ever written. This is now the story of his peacetime experience. He had the luck to grow up in the '20s and '30s during the golden age of flying and thanks to his father's generous encouragement, it was not long before he had his own Gipsy Moth. From that moment there was no looking back. - The Blue Riband of flying in the British Isles between the two World Wars was the King's Cup. Henshaw set his heart on it, developing a technique of racing which extracted the very maximum from his aircraft: first the Comper Swift and then the DH Leopard Moth. Parallel with his search for speed was an obsession with making accurate landfalls, and he developed this blind-flying talent deliberately in a flying partnership with his father on many carefully planned long-distance survey flights. His exciting apprenticeship in these two skills was crowned by the acquisition of the Percival Mew Gull G-AEXF in 1937. - After many initial successes with the machine, Henshaw became associated with Jack Cross of Essex Aero Ltd at Gravesend, who became primarily responsible for the racing and long distance preparations. The first fruit of this partnership was victory in the King's Cup of 1938 at a speed that remains the fastest of any winning aircraft. This was closely followed by an amazing solo flight to Cape Town and back in February 1939, breaking all records and which, as a solo flight, still stand today. This feat of navigation and airmanship must surely be one of man's greatest flights - 12,754 miles over desert, sea and jungle in a single-engined light aircraft. Alex Henshaw teils his story in a vivid style that puts you at the heart of all his battles and adventures. 267 p. photos.
