Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Captain Stewart first prepares the reader with competent knowledge of the aircraft and navigation before letting the person take a peek at the entire flight from beginning till end from London to New York.
I find the language used and the way the book is written in to be very serious, as if the Capt. takes your interest in what he does seriously. Of course, this book omits all the boo boos and emergencies that the writer experienced in his career, but it is a great book to learn by heart if you are an airliner enthusiast.
There is something for the experts as well as amateaurs. A must read!
