"Riveting Case Studies . . . "

The back cover of PILOTING AT NIGHT says, "Full of riveting case studies, this clear and concise guide illustrates . . ." and then goes on to celebrate the technical aspects of the book. Without devaluing the technical astuteness of Bjork's book, I would have to say that the real selling point for this book and for Bjork's other book (PILOTING FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE) are the riveting case studies, the descriptions of real-life flying experiences. For anyone who has experienced the disheartening boredom of wading through a technical textbook, Bjork's book will be a refreshing change. Bjork's entertaining case studies provide a concrete way to understand and begin to apply the abstract concepts that are part of any handbook. An excellent book.
