Book Reviews of Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying
Book Review: A Must Read for All Pilots
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book when I was learning to fly in the late 60's. When I got my CFI I used it as a teaching tool for all my students and insisted they read it. It is timeless in its explanation of how an airplane flies. Anyone who disses this book is an accident waiting to happen. If you can't recover from a spin don't fly an airplane. I added that last comment to encourage students to make sure your CFI teaches you the procedure. It is simple and may save your life.
Summary of Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying
In the early 1940's, Wolfgang Langewiesche wrote a series of articles in Air Facts analyzing the various aspects of piloting techniques. Based on these articles, Langewiesche's classic work on the art of flying was published in 1944. This book explains precisely what pilots do when they fly, just how they do it, and why. These basics are largely unchanging. The book applies to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and instructor. Today, several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying.Aviation Books
