Reviews
I am a 16,000 hour Airline Pilot who had the privilege of meeting the author and talking with him about aviation--almost two decades ago. He's the perfect person to explain the industry to someone interested in aviation. His newest book is a great plain-English primer that should be required reading for any aspiring pilot. The author is an Air Force Colonel, career NSA analyst, and veteran aviator who has flown hundreds of aircraft types, makes, and models. His "Applied Clayton Method" of flying are classic techniques that I have adopted into my own flying for almost two decades. The book was a joy!
