5.0 out of 5 stars This book gives you a REAL taste of Hang Gliding, August 31, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: SKY ADVENTURES, Stories Of Our Heritage (Legends And Stories About The Early Days of Hang Gliding and Paragliding) (Paperback)
Incredible, informative, irreverant. This is a treasure trove of history, anecdote, wildness and fun. You won't find another book that speaks so truthfully and lovingly about the joy of soaring hang gliders.
