Introduction
There’s something extraordinary about flying a plane - or even flying in a plane - that’s very simple indeed. As the wheels cease rolling on the ground, as the wings push you skywards - you’re released from the earth, you’re moving freely in a new dimension - where your world is the air outside, and the flying machine around you.
The unique thrill of flying a plane is the essence of, and the inspiration for, this book. This is not a theory or course-related handbook, but a book that celebrates the many and exciting possibilities for flight in our age.
