Capt Eric 'Winkle' Brown speaks on youtube - and he's still on the lecture circuit in his '90s! Included in this 2 part interview are his memories of flight testing the HE162, and the Horten IX which was test flown by an American pilot.

Wow! What an amazing guy. A great storyteller as well.

When he unfolds his pilots license, does it resemble a 'short snorter?' because of everything he's flown?

He is THE MAN! You name it, he's flown it.
I can recommend his books
Wings of the Weird and Wonderful Vol 1 and 2.

The site sponsor- AeroCinema also has a great series of clips and stories from Eric. They are extremely entertaining.
