Martin Bridge: Ready for Takeoff! (Martin Bridge)

Kids Can Press, Ltd., 2005

Terrific book for my 8 year old son
This book was nominated for best children's book in 2007 for Pennsylvania school libraries. My son and I really enjoyed this book together. My son related to this book in a meaningful way. The writing style kept his attention and connected with his 8 year old boy mentality. The "lessons" sprinkled into the story where just enough and conveyed in such a way that my son understood their values ...

Takeoffs and Landings

Reading TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS will make you feel good.
Takeoffs and landings. I guess they're the best parts of going on a plane. Then again, I've been on so many flights that they all just meld together. This is not the case for Lori and Chuck Lawson, two teens stuck in Pickford County, Ohio. Neither has been on a plane, not once --- they've been living with their grandparents and siblings on the family farm ever since their father passed away. ...

Cleared For Takeoff! 50 Ways Parents Can Help Their Teenagers Grow Up, Out And Into A Life Of Their Own

Let's Be Honest
This book has a religious orientation that is not revealed until you open it and start reading. I have no objections to religion for those who choose it, however, I resent the "hidden agenda" aspect of this book. If I had known in advance this was a religion-based book, I would not have bought it. I think that's the idea behind their keeping quiet about it.

Takeoffs and Landings: The Crucial Maneuvers & Everything in Between

Valuable Information, Well Written
Without exception, every pilot should read Langewiesche's Stick and Rudder. This book should be the next one to read after that. Langewiesche and Collins were friends, and Collins wrote this long after Stick and Rudder had become a classic. He produced an excellent follow-on work that both reinforces the lessons of Stick and Rudder and expands them. This book covers real-world flying and how ...

Better Takeoffs & Landings

How to do it correctly
After reading Mr. Loves book, as a Student Pilot, I find it one of the most practical and well written texts on the art of making a proper landing. Mr. Loves experience as a pilot for a parachute troop has been invaluable and passing on this knowledge to us 'up and coming' is greatly appreciated. I would assume that this text would also be a great review for those of you who are switching ...

From Take-off To Landing: Everything You Wanted to Know About Airplanes But Had No One to Ask

Sternstein

Pocket, 1991

The BEST book on what goes on during airline flight!
Written by commercial pilots, this book is simply the best out there hands down on explaining what goes on from takeoff to landing when you fly commercial airlines! From what planning a pilot must undertake prior to the instruments and controls of the cockpit, the book details how safe and redundant every aspect of flight is. Ever wonder about why a plane has an aborted takeoff or landing? How ...

Takeoff (Doubleday science fiction)

C. M Kornbluth

Doubleday, 1952

A Bit Dated But Good
"Takeoff" by C. M. Kornbluth was first published in 1952, and was nominated for the 1953 International Fantasy Award. Unlike the other nominee, "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut, or the winner "City" by Clifford D. Simak, "Takeoff" is a surprisingly ordinary book. It is very dated by the passage of time, and frankly it is difficult to understand why it would have been considered among the best ...

Cleared For Takeoff - Your Handbook for Becoming a Private Pilot

Cessna Pilot Center ) King Schools), 2001

Great Handbook for the Beginning Pilot
I really enjoyed this book. There is enough humor to keep your interest high when the going gets technical. It is a great adjunct to use in addition to the more traditional flight school textbooks. It really helped the information take hold in my brain, and was a great book to review for the knowledge test.

Tonya Bolden

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007

brave and brilliant contribution to women's music

A quick and easy read, complete with photos, newspaper clippings and an obsessive amount of research, Take-Off chronicles the rise and eventual fall of "all-girl" big bands of the World War II ...
