Alex Henshaw, after his success in races and record flights in the 1930's asked for something useful to do in 1939, and fairly soon found himself assisting the chief test pilot at… the vast Castle Bromwich factory where Spitfires were built for 6 years, and where he and his fellows flew over 37,000 flights in nearly 13,000 aircraft, often in unspeakable conditions.1999.
