The Flying Book: Everything You've Ever Wondered About Flying on Airlines

Product Information

Keep yourself and passengers safe while remaining confident when you’re flying in any type of weather. This FAA-recommended book is beneficial for pilots at any stage of their journey. Flying to this day is the safest mode of transport available to us but undeniably a plane crash makes a lot more headlines than your average car accident. Carol Shaben takes us into a horrific, tragic, and epic story of a plane crash that occurred in the Canadian wilderness in 1984. Charles Lindbergh is famous for his solo nonstop trans-Atlantic journey from New York to Paris in 1927. This autobiographical account of the landmark flight details the thrilling danger of Lindbergh’s journey in his single-seat, custom-built aircraft: the Spirit of St. Louis. The Pulitzer Prize-winning adventure tale gives readers a glimpse into the history of aviation before the days or commercial flights and air charter services. This is not going to be the best book for a pilot looking to get their wings, as the information will not be relatable to your flight school exam. However, this is an amazing read for anyone interested in a real-life story about the events that can occur within aviation. Weather Flying This is an amazing book for anyone interested in aviation history and the autobiography of the Wright Brothers. The history of this story alone will make you appreciate the course of action and risk that was taken for flying technology to become what it is today. Airplanes have impacted all of our lives and the Wright Brothers are the two individuals that deserve more credit than anyone for this accomplishment in human history.

Wolfgang Langewiesche dives into the fundamentals and methodology of flying, as well as the intimate experience that a pilot goes through while in-flight. Langewiesche vividly describes the emotions, thoughts, and sensations that you can feel when you pilot an aircraft, which in many ways translates to a first-person psychological analysis of flying.

The author, keen to impress girls at the start of the book by ‘becoming a pilot’, decides to take up flying and enters the addictive world of the weekend microlight aviators, with gently humorous results. Highly recommended. Bomber – Len Deighton In the 1990s Russia went through great turmoil, and when visiting Moscow Richard and his party – which included, I note, photographer and ‘Old Timers’ editor Peter R March – were caught up in the bloody 1993 coupe that for a time displaced Boris Yeltsin. In time, new management took over at Sukhoi and prices were raised to an unsustainable level, and when the factory Richard had commissioned to build a Japanese Zero (really!) was raided by armed men, it became apparent quite how badly one’s fingers could be burned in Russia. What We Like: O’Brien flawlessly writes about the exciting and sometimes heartbreaking experiences these women went through, particularly during the air races in which they took part. Many of their stories remain unknown outside of aviation, but their fearless spirit can be appreciated by all. caption id="attachment_7495" align="alignnone" width="333" caption="A fascinating account of a fighter pilot's job during the Cold War."] [/caption] What First Light does for Spitfires and the Battle of Britain, Robert Prest does for the F-4 Phantom in RAF service in the Cold War.
