A Marvelous Read
29. Mai 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book popped up as an option to review after I'd posted a review about an unrelated item. As I've been a hang glider pilot for almost 30 years and read the book when I first learned to fly, I feel honored to review Manbirds.
While Manbirds is today extremely out of date when compared to the modern day sport, reading it is still a wonderful way to connect with the pilots and the sport in its infancy as it reached across the country from California to the east coast. You'll learn how the national organization, teaching protocols, and manufacturer testing took form. Manbirds is a marvelous read where you can breathe the air of the earliest days of this sport considered, "daredevil" by many but known to those who fly as a, "story of adventuresome intellects" in a sport now grown-up.
The hang gliding company Maralys Wills family started, Wills Wing, Inc., is today the only remaining U.S. manufacturer of gliders. One of my greatest privileges was the chance to meet this award winning author at our acclaimed hang gliding site, Wallaby Ranch, in Florida. Maralys is an icon in the sport and to shake her hand and have her autograph her book, A Circus Without Elephants, a memoir about her extraordinary family, was truly special for me. The following day, I launched and thermalled with a dozen other gliders. As I watched each taunt, efficient sail turn in coordination with mine, words from Manbirds came to my mind, "men now do fly like birds - huge, multicolored birds."
