Hang out and learn the way of the pilot

"Watching Jim, you learn how easy flying is, how effortless this wonderful art can be. But how do Jim Gannett and his like accomplish this simplicity? They study and practice, enthusiastically pursuing the art of flight, until knowledge gives them confidence and practice provides the skill to perform. It is there for all of us."Reading this book you get to fly with the author, who's career at TWA spanned DC-2's to the B-747, and learn his distilled practical knowledge. Check lists, habits, emergencies, control smoothness -- it is all here. People say that if you want to be successful in something, you should hang out with people who already show the qualities you desire. This book is a way to hang with a true master pilot. (If you were wondering, Jim Gannett was Boeing's senior test pilot.)
