In 1981 during a UK visit I spent a day with Eric & Lynn Brown. We talked writing as much as flying & aviation, and Eric told a story on himself. A few years before he'd heard from a writer who wanted to build a novel around the 177, so Eric answered a bunch of questions. Time passed. When the book was published the novelist sent Eric a signed copy but te plot had a lot more Sex than Greif! Lynn didn't say anything but the expression on her face spoke volumes!
