This is a big book. Full of everything aviation. And, we do mean everything. This ultimate reference book explains all aspects of aviation from props to heavy jets.
Really a great synopsis/compilation. Check your current regs, but it brings a lot of good info into a single place with references for further exploration.
Out of date in more ways than one, but mostly just absolutely racist and misogynistic. This book is trash, if you buy it, I hope it’s just because there’s a shortage of toilet paper in your town.
I wish I would've gotten this book before I started flight training. It takes all the "airplane geek" out and helps you understand this new information when you're first exposed to it. But word of caution: it should be used a lot like those " for dummies" books; it is a good place to start but not the sole source of the learning. It is written very well to do just that. You can read the new stuff and go look up the reference for it.
