Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying Book Review
I thought I had aeroplane control sussed as a student. A bit rough at
the edges and things occasionally happened that I wasn’t quite
expecting, but good enough and nothing dangerous… Until I read this
book.
Langewiesche has writtten a masterpeice on the “art” of flying and is still compulsive reading after 60 years in print. His references are occasionally quaint, such as comparing the “gait” of your aeroplane to the gait of your horse and referring to the elevator as “flippers” (the latter being much less misleading).
If only he’d also written books called “A Practical Guide to International Politics”, “Crime Fighting Made Simple” and “Understanding Women” the word would be a better place. Get online Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying today.
