Description
Airmen and student aviators all over the world are hailing this book as the most readable and helpful one ever published on the art of flying.
By word and hundreds of scientifically accurate pictures by Fred L. Meagher and Frank L. Carlson it makes clear every item of aircraft equipment; all the methods of operation in flight, and the dynamics of the air.
Between its covers is a complete course in flying instruction from ground training and the first solo flight to navigating the overcast.
Jordanoff, authority on aircraft and flying, has the knack of imparting his own wide knowledge of the subject in the simplest and most graphic manner, so that the reader will easily obtain a rapid understanding of every subject. Functions of such instruments as the radio compass, the directional gyro, the automatic pilot, the artificial horizon and numerous others become obvious at a glance.
Aviation authorities everywhere have given this helpful and fascinating book their unqualified approval. Such is its value that it has been already translated into several languages.
ABOUT ThE AUTHOR
World Famous Aviator and Aviation Authority
Jordanoff is known throughout the aviation world as an accepted authority on all subjects relating to aircraft and flying.
Twenty-five years of flying and association with Curtiss-Wright Corporation and other leading American Aircraft Companies and Air Lines have made Jordanoff one of the most competent and versatile airmen in America today.
It is his writing experience, however, that has made his name known in all parts of the world. Over a long period he has contributed articles to newspapers, magazines and technical publications. As author of the most informative and popular books on flying, "Your Wings," "Through the Overcast," and "Safety in Flight," he has achieved perhaps his greatest success.
In these books are happily combined all the necessary technical facts with a human style that makes them distinctive in their field. All three books have received official approval and use by governments and are best sellers in the aviation field.
