Product Description
This must be one of the few dictionaries that make a good read in themselves! It was intended to be a companion to "Air Crashes and Miracle Landings" by the same author. But it has so many intriguing bits of information in that it makes a great read in its own right - I read it straight through cover to cover.
- Malcolm Graley
Captivating reading for anyone fascinated by aviation, and an unparalleled primer for those thinking of learning to fly.
Explains basic procedures such as takeoff and landing, noting the V-speeds required for safety at the various stages.
