Book excerpt: Unlike conventional aviation authors and instructors I do not teach primary flying, crop dusting, pipeline patrol flying, bush flying, helicopter medical evacuation flying, and air to ground gunnery using instruments inside the aircraft as the primary situational awareness tool. Rather I teach Dutch rolls, slow flight and stalls over the runway, the energy management turns, use of ground effect on all takeoffs, the brisk walk apparent rate of closure approach, hover taxi in fixed wing aircraft, and low level low power mountain flying using sights, sounds, smells, and kinetics. Sight is used 99.9% of the time looking at the ground. Airspeed, nor any other instrument is used in takeoff or landing. This text teaches the art of flying in the old style at low level using ground references. Its author has over sixteen thousand hours of flying Army helicopters, crop dusters, and pipeline patrol airplanes at three feet to five hundred feet above ground level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can I expand my consciousness and so realizing my true nature, without having to retreat to a monastery and without following a Nepalese guru with an unpronounceable name? Carlo Magaletti proposes that you don't have to abandon your ego or renounce your materialistic desires, like some religions and spiritual sects suggest... not yet. Before you can do so, you should deeply understand that your material life is a tool for advancing spiritually and not the purpose of your existence. And your understanding of this will come through the process of building your ego in a healthy way (this book explains exactly what that means). "We should look at our ego as a sand mandala: it only makes sense to dismantle it after it has been accurately and patiently completed. Destroying the mandala before it is finished is not really letting go nor going beyond, but only a way to give up and therefore, to regress." Inspired by his research in the field of theater, the author suggests unusual techniques and methods to give you a new perspective on the dense matter of everyday life... and to help you get your wings while staying grounded in this world of earthly spirituality.

Book excerpt: Richard Bach’s first book, Stranger to the Ground is above all else an insight into the character of a man whose great compulsion is to measure himself against storm and night and fear. On the surface it is the tale of a memorable mission of a young fighter pilot utilizing his skills in a lonely duel with death. Yet between the lines emerges the portrait of the airman as a breed, probing outward, but even more significantly, inward.

Book excerpt: During World War II, in the skies over Burma and China, a handful of American pilots met and bloodied the "Imperial Wild Eagles" of Japan and won immortality as the Flying Tigers. One of America's most famous combat forces, the Tigers were recruited to defend beleaguered China for $600 a month and a bounty of $500 for each Japanese plane they shot down--fantastic money in an era when a Manhattan hotel room cost three dollars a night.This May 2023 revision has never-before-published information about Chennault's early years. "Admirable," wrote Chennault biographer Martha Byrd of Ford's original text. "A readable book based on sound sources. Expect some surprises." Flying Tigers won the Aviation/Space Writers Association Award of Excellence in the year of its first publication.
