Book Reviews of Learning to Fly Helicopters
Book Review: Most Excellent Authorship
Summary: 5 Stars
For the past 35 years I have flown single engine fixed wing aircraft and for the same 35 years I have always wondered about how it would be to fly a helicopter.
After reading this book I still can't, but I now have some idea of just how "the other side" flies. I can now better appreciate the difficulty of maneuvering these aircraft and of the greater attention must be paid by the pilot even when flying straight and level.
I cannot say enough about the author. His writing is clear, concise, and humanistic, but never allows the reader a "parade rest" but, rather, holds the reader at full attention from page to page, well almost, until the book is finished.
Well written, worth twice the money.
Bill McConnell
