Very good product

This product is same as described in purchase. Delivery was very quickly and good conditions. I recommend this product and provider. Sincerely. Jose Pena

Unreserved praise!

For all pilots! I purchased this book over ten years ago and I try to reread it each spring. This book condenses need to know information into useable "bites," and makes weather interesting and understandable. You will learn things about temperature dew point relationships and many other aspects of weather and weather flying that you may never hear any other place. If you are looking for a book that will better prepare you for the dynamics of weather flying, this is one of the very best.

severe weather flying

This is a must read book for any pilot who does serious weather flying. Dennis takes the mumbo jumbo and puts it in terms that are very easy to understand. With thirty two years of flying under my belt, this is the only book that makes practical sense of very technical issues.

Excellent for professional aviators

Good detail, personal tips & hints that I haven't seen in any other text. Although it is US orientated, it contains a wealth of interesting information.

Written the way all technical books for pilots should be.

Dennis Newton had a goal of writing a book that pilots could understand and use. With over 10 years of line flying under my belt since reading (and re-reading) his book I believe it is the definitive book on the subject of thunderstorm and windshear avoidance for professional pilots. Every professional pilot needs this one in his library.
