About this product

Product Information

Though we routinely take to the air, for many of us flying remains a mystery. Few of us understand the how and why of jetting from New York to London in six hours. How does a plane stay in the air? Can turbulence bring it down? What is windshear? How good are the security checks? Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Salon.com's popular column, "Ask the Pilot," unravels the secrets and tells you all there is to know about the strange and fascinating world of commercial flight. He offers: A nuts and bolts explanation of how planes fly Insights into safety and security Straight talk about turbulence, air traffic control, windshear, and crashes The history, color, and controversy of the world's airlines The awe and oddity of being a pilot The poetry and drama of airplanes, airports, and traveling abroad In a series of frank, often funny explanations and essays, Smith speaks eloquently to our fears and curiosities, incorporating anecdotes, memoir, and a life's passion for flight. He tackles our toughest concerns, debunks conspiracy theories and myths, and in a rarely heard voice dares to return a dash of romance and glamour to air travel.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you.

    It's a "must read book" for sure!!

    The incredible delay in delivery the book due to the brazilian Post Office made me wait since september 2017 for this reading, still long time no see!!! I am addicted to "airmanship knowledgement" so this book will surely add some of it to my collection if it arrive someday!!

    A little wordy...

    I am also a pilot and wanted to see what this author had to say. He shared some good information. My only complaint is that he can get pretty verbose at times. I prefer succinct (short and simple)explanations. Why make it any more difficult to glean the answer than absolutely necessary?

    For those who don't have any inside information

    Relatives with airline so knew nearly all written about. However, for those of you with little knowledge of operations, a good book.

    A Must Read for Fearful Flyers

    A friend had to fly and with trepidation made his reservation. At the airport (LAX) he found this book. It gave him a great deal of comfort, knowing the answers to many of his questions. When I read it, I saw that it was no nonsense explanations, giving both the good and the bad, and dispelling many commonly held myths about planes, airports, and their staff.
