Laugh And Shudder At The Same Time!
I am not yet a pilot, though I intend to be in the near future. I really enjoyed this book as it gave me insight not only into flying, but also into the attitudes of pilots. While reading this book, you really feel like you get into the heads of these pilots and see their philosophies. And it's fun to read as well!
