Description
James Gilbert, who has flown more than 100 kinds of aircraft, takes you aloft to savor the technical skills and exhilarating emotions of THE FLIER'S WORLD.
Fly at 500 feet in the sublime and silent environment of the glider, at 1,000 in your own single-engined light plane, at 38,000 in a 747, and bump against the ceiling in a military jet.
And share in a universal enthusiasm. For it’s a rare country that has not contributed a theory, a design, a great plane, a great flier, and a hundred great stories on the unique qualities of THE FLIER'S WORLD.
