Title: Tough but fair
Review: Langewiesche writes a brilliant explanation of things that we have learned to take for granted in modern aviation. Stick and Rudder covers many important aspects of flight from an angle not available in modern texts.Stick and Rudder is tough reading and is only appropriate for those passionate about aviation who want to understand why things work, not just how they work. With that mindset, any pilot will be able to improve their skills after reading Langewiesche's explanation of all the fundamentals of flight.While not easy to read, the concepts taught in Stick and Rudder are well thought out and explicated. It's amazing that 60 years after it was written, instructors still haven't learned from Langewiesche's style. This book is a must read for pilots and wannabe's.
