The interest in 'Winkle' Brown is justifiably due to his unrivaled experience in deck landings and test flying different types of aircraft. I did feel they could have substantially pruned back the part up to and including his sinking on Audacity.
Disagree. It was flying from Audacity that proved his skill as a fighter pilot and in landing on the carrier, it puts the other things in the context of the wartime Navy, and was the reason he did trials/test flying.
