Rating: - 60 years on, it's still the definitive guide

Rating: - the best book on flying that I ever read.
I began flying in 1944 and am still an active pilot in 1999. The is clearly the best book ever on how a plane flys and how you fly a plane. How I missed it for all these years, I will never know.
