Summary: A fun and rewarding read for all ages
Comment: The Flying Book: Everything You've Ever Wondered About Flying On Airplanes by David Blatner is a straightfoward, "reader friendly", highly enjoyable, educational survey of aviation which accessibly explains in lay terms everything from how airplanes work, to air turbulence, to what goes on behind cockpit doors, to dealing with stress and fear, to building airplanes, to a brief history of powered flight, and more. A fun and rewarding read for all ages, The Flying Book is most especially recommended for nervous first-time flyers, as well as inquisitive young (and not-so-young!) minds who want to know more about the modern mechanical miracle of aviation.
Rating: 5
Summary: Kind of a neat book
Comment: This is a well researched, well written book. It's not a book for pilots on how to fly, or one of those big glossy books on every airplane, but it is a great book for normal people with a wondering about the how and the history of traveling in a metal tube going 500 mph, 5 miles in the air.
There are lots of books like this -- for children! Pictures at the airport, cute stuff. But now we have a book for adults. It's fascinating stuff. As an airline pilot, I get asked a lot of these questions on a daily basis. If people do want to learn some more without being bored to death or talked down to -- I will recommend them this book.
