The Definitive book on Microlighting theory
Brian has written the definitive book covering all aspects of microlighting theory. It is a must for anyone intending to obtain a PPL Microlighting license. Each section is clearly written and backed up with excellent line drawings. When I obtained my license I found the book invaluable, and even now I still go back to it from time to time to refresh my memory. This is a must-have for everyone flying, or intending to fly, microlights

Microlight handbook
An absolute must for the new wannabe microlight pilot.After searching around, this book can only be described as the Microlight pilots bible.Very easy to understand and full of pictures and diagrams.Money well spent.

Highly detailed but not an easy read - Text Book Stuff
This really is a text book, a manual as the title suggests. For those aspiring microlight pilots like myself the book is a wealth of information and seems to provide all of the material you need for the theoretical part of pilot training. My real gripe with the book is that it makes a not too difficult subject seem very difficult. This is because of the writing style which seems to come straight out of a military manual and thus fails to differentiate common sense from science. I would recommend the book to the serious student but be prepared to 'work' the book to get the information you need.
