How could I never have read this brilliant man’s books before?
If you want to learn a lot about flying, and more than a little about life (modesty, integrity, curiosity), please read all his books!

If you liked Flight Lessons 1: Basic Flight, you will love Flight Lessons 2: Advanced Flight. James' flight experiences as an Air Force pilot are an absolute joy to read, but it is the lessons contained within each chapter that make this book a must read/have for all aviators. Highly recommended. I am already eagerly anticipating James' next book.
