Ever heard the droning of a small airplane as it crawls slowly across the cloudless sky, and wonder what kind of person pilots something that small? As you watched it, did you wonder where it came from, and where it was going? In the heat of the summer did you ever want to be on it, letting it take you away from where you are? Reading this book will make you feel what a pilot feels, flying his single engine airplane. You'll feel a pilot's fear in an emergency. You'll be there with a panicked student pilot who discovers that he's lost and low on fuel. The forward is by Barry Schiff, nationally known aviation writer and safety consultant who says about the book: "...most flying books describe how to obtain a pilot's license or once licensed, how a pilot can improve his skills.

It is well written and a good and easy read..."
