A Very Complete Handbook

Although written some years back, the wealth of information found in this book is still very useful. Not specific to any aspect of gliding, such as Reichmann's wonderful Cross Country Soaring, it covers topics from introduction to advanced theory, with advice on thermalling, outlanding, navigation, cross-country, mountain flying, waves, meteorology, racing, instruments... Very practical information on all aspects of this wonderful sport will bring experts' experience and advice to pilots of all levels. Advanced theory is simplified and it's practical implications explained. An interesting complement to a serious pilot's library.
