5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the novice, 10 Oct 2009
By N. Mccready "windy corner" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have only recently started gliding, this book is in plain english and to the point. The chapters in the book mirror how i am being instructed and taught at the air field. On my last glide i struggled to fly straight, reading in the book later i discovered that this is normal for a novice, so the book boosted my confidence after a day struggling in the glider. Highly reccomend it.
