Mercedes and the Chocolate Pilot

Margot Theis Raven

Sleeping Bear Press, 2002

Beautiful and moving
A lovely story of a little-known episode in post-World War II Europe, the Berlin Airlift, and the American pilot who knew that for children, chocolates and sweets were almost more important than the basic supplies the Airlift was providing the citizens of West Berlin, so he sent those along with the rest of his cargo, and in doing so, gave them hope. Margot Theis Raven movingly depicts an ...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2002

GREAT
This is probably one of the best organized and satright forward aviation books I've come across. VEry well thought and the way the information is laid out makes it much easier to understand since it's progressive following a logical order of ideas, revisiting concepts from some questions to others that relate in order for the reader to fully apply all the knowledge in understanding more complex ...

light on explanation, fine to pass the exam
Buy this book if you're looking to pass the FAA exam, but not if you're trying to understand the material. The authors do a great job of researching and recreating the FAA test questions and they present them in a concise and organized manner. But if you really want to understand the material, you'll need to refer to the FAA book, Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge: FAA-H-8083-25. I would ...

I used it, now my students do.
Yes, I know it's pricey. Think of it as an investment. Buy it. End of story.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots Real World Training

Wiley, 2007

Make Your Hobby Take Flight !
I think based on the reviews below - you get the drift. Those reviews speak for themselves (and the book). I don't need to repeat every thing noted by the other reviewers. It's a great book and I learned more than I would have ever thought. Don't let the 800 pages scare you off. The diagrams and the tutorial flights are just awesome. I have been flying MSFS since way back in the early ...

Pilot's Encyclopedia of Aeronautical Knowledge: Federal Aviation Administration

5 reviews

Skyhorse Publishing, Inc., 2007

High quality printing
This is exactly the same as the FAA's "Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge," (FAA-H-8083-25) but this is a commercial reprint by Skyhorse Publishing and it uses better paper (thicker/glossier) than the FAA's printed version, so I highly recommend this one.

Ask the Pilot

Riverhead Trade, 2004

A great clarifier for all the mysteries of airlines and flight
I will be passing this book on to a friend of mine who is a tad squeamish about flying. The author provides straight talk about anything you would ever want to know about traveling by air. He debunks a great deal of misinformation, too, which is perhaps the most valuable aspect of the book.

Boyd: The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War

Robert Coram

Back Bay Books, 2004

An Insightful, educational, bio of a little-known American Hero
One reviewer said, "This is an extraordinary book about a giant of a man." All true, but Boyd was also a tragic figure (almost in the classic Greek sense) who paid a high personal price for his dedication. Our lives crossed, but I never knew him. I was at Georgia Tech at the same time Boyd was. There were some "old military guys" in my engineering classes, and I expect he was one. Later, as a ...

Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot: Unleashing Your Brain's Potential

Richard Restak

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Summer holiday reading
In "Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot" Dr. Richard Restak extends in his capacity of acting as an intermediate between knowledge of brain functions and the people in general. If it were not for the title it is difficult to think about how to sell the book and spread that knowledge. The book describes in simple words and in short chapters, sites of brain activity as well as its functions ...

Jimmy Stewart: Bomber Pilot

Starr Smith

Zenith Press, 2006

A true American hero
The story of a man who had it all and risked it all to do what he thought was his duty is one we can all learn from. Stewart had fame, fortune and a bright future in Hollywood. His determined efforts to fly in combat, even after being initially rejected by the Air Force, are inspiring. Reading this book makes you appreciate Jimmy Stewart the actor even more.

An excellent book for Helo Pilots
Well,i had been looking for a book related to helicopter accidents and causes until i saw "Fatal Traps For Helicopter Pilots".The dramatic accident rate of helicopter operations always took my attention and made me ponder over the subject.This book gives vast information of helicopter aerodynamics and inspects the accident "cause" and "result" logic,rather than connect the dots theory.It does not ...

Very Good Book
Very well written introduction for anyone considering becoming a pilot. This book provides a short, but thorough, analysis of just about all that being a pilot involves - from initial training to life as a General Aviation pilot. Finally - a book well worth the money!

Dial, 2008

Just as fun as Stick
This is a great book. Just like the author's Stick book, it has the potential for additional stories in the artwork. We constantly go off the normal story path to talk about and imagine stories on each page. It's a lot of fun and inspires the imagination for my 4 and 2 year old children.

Every High School Library Needs This Book!
It's a truth that most every young person's interest in aviation will lead them to consider flying as a career. Rob encapsulates for them the essence of how to get started on the path to a professional pilot career. While there are a lot of books on the subject, the Professional Pilot's Career Guide not only manages to cover just about every variation of how one can get paid to fly, but also ...

US Helicopter Pilot in Vietnam (Warrior)
Gordon Rottman

Osprey Publishing, 2008

One of the most enduring and vivid images of Vietnam is the helicopter. There is little doubt that the helicopter revolutionized warfare and how the war in Vietnam was fought. Helicopters lifted troops, supplies, material, equipment, and vehicles. They conducted visual reconnaissance, command and control, medical evacuation, artillery spotting, fire support, and countless administrative tasks. They were aerial weapons platforms and aerial ...
