About this title: What's in "Stick and Rudder": the invisible secret of all heavier-than-air flight - the Angle of Attack, what it is, and why it can't be seen. How lift is made, and what the pilot has to do with it; why airplanes stall; how do you know you're about to stall? The landing approach. How the pilot's eye functions in judging the approach. The visual clues by which an experienced pilot unconsciously judges: how you can quickly learn to use them. "The Spot that does not move." This is the first statement of this phenomenon. A foolproof method of making a landing approach across pole lines and trees. ...

"I thought this was a book about drag queens. Turns out it's about flying. I suspect that in the final analysis, the two aren't very different. I'll let you all know when I finish.
***
"Someone once said that if you will look at an airplane long enough, sit in it long enough, fool with the controls long enough you will decide you can fly it."
Not this cowboy. Call Bernoulli's Principle whatever you want, it's still voodoo."
"After 60 plus years this book is still the absolute best basic introduction to flying. There are a few minor details that are dated but the science and the fundamentals still hold true. I first read my father's copy of this book in the 1950's and bought it on a lark just to compare it to some recent pilot introductory manuals. The explanations in Stick and Rudder appear to me more explicit than those in the modern books. Langeweische's style gets your attention too. While his writing is easy to read and enjoyable he also makes it clear that flying is serious business."
"The reading list for those training to become private pilots primarily consists of check-lists, FAA regulations and maps. This is a welcome break and a must-read for a "big picture" understanding of what you are learning."
