Kurzbeschreibung
This must be one of the few dictionaries that make a good read in themselves! It was intended to be a companion to "Air Crashes and Miracle Landings" by the same author. But it has so many intriguing bits of information in that it makes a great read in its own right - I read it straight through cover to cover.
- Malcolm Graley
Captivating reading for anyone fascinated by aviation, and an unparalleled primer for those thinking of learning to fly.
Explains basic procedures such as takeoff and landing, noting the V-speeds required for safety at the various stages.
Includes fascinating and helpful information for passengers.
Originally conceived as the glossary for the author's book AIR CRASHES AND MIRACLE LANDINGS, where the aim was to explain the aviation terms in as interesting a way as possible.
