This book breaks new ground in the presentation of what is and should be presented as a fascinating and vitally important part of a pilot's skill. Gone are the dreary old monotone drawings of isobars and fronts, endless graphs and reams of figures and in bounce full color photos of what you actually see - clouds and cloudscapes that tell you instantly what's happening to the air around you. For those who fly aircraft and micros, gliders or kites - this book makes the weather make sense.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book, Especially for UK Pilots,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pilot's Weather: A Commonsense Approach to Meteorolgy (Hardcover)
This is a great book that explains weather as it relates to flying. Unfortunately, the author has written primarily for a UK audience and there are differences in some procedures (such as altimeter use) and terminology. That makes it less than perfect for US pilots like me! But it's still a great book and worth adding to any pilot's personal library.
