Begining Gliding,
By Janina (Exeter, NH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginning Gliding (Paperback)
This book is a well written and easy to understand introduction to the sport of gliding. It explains the basic theory of aircraft manuvering and can be put into use the second you step into the cockpit. My only gripe is that author tends to be a bit teacherish and expects his students to be easily confused and scared durung their first flight.
