The best book on aerobatics, on a par with Stick and Rudder,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerobatics (Paperback)
Neil Williams was a British test pilot and aerobatic pilot with a rare gift of skill in both flying and writing. He was a World Champion of aerobatic competition. This book is the standard text on aerobatics, to be considered on a par with Langewiesche's Stick and Rudder and Robert Buck's Weather Flying. He writes with the authority and conciseness which can only come from absolute mastery of the subject, but also accomplishes conveying the finer points as well as the fundamentals of aerobatic flying to an inexperienced reader. It is also true that few accomplished aerobatic pilots can read this book without improving their knowledge in some way.As well as the technical aspects of the technique of aerobatic flight, Williams also includes the human aspects, what it feels like, why pilots are drawn to it, giving an insight that non-pilots will enjoy. The writing style is witty and interesting, with many anecdotes. It is not the kind of book that simply tells you push this and that will happen. If you understand this book, you will understand your airplane, regardless of its attitude.

essential,
This review is from: Aerobatics (Paperback)
I relied on this book as an aerobatic instructor and pilot and recommend it most highly. It can take you from loop-spin-roll to rolling 360s. And the illustrations are great.
