How to Fly
Gordon Baxter, the inimitable columnist for Flying magazine, has written a book, which fills the void between aviation romances that make you want to quit. He explodes some of the most closely guarded macho myths of aviation, and thus eliminates one of the main barriers that have kept so many potential flyers at home.
How to Fly is "skinny quick and sort of fun--an overnight friend," says the author. It is written in concise, crystal-clear language, accompanied by Baxter's own lighthearted drawings for emphasis and comic relief, and includes one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date aviation glossaries available.
Reading How to Fly is like getting a personal aviation course from a wise, friendly, good-humored flight instructor.
