"If you're a nervous flier, or a mystified flier who doesn't quite
understand how heavier-than-air craft can stay aloft, this book is
worth checking out." --San Francisco Chronicle"Full of fascinating
details, statistics and sidebars." --Chicago Tribune"Fun facts for
airline airplane geeks who, if possible, would ride in planes like
dogs in pickups, with their heads out the window." --Washington
Post"David Blatner's compact, generously illustrated volume
explains, among other things, how planes take off and land--and,
perhaps most important, how they stay up there in between." --The
Associated Press"The Flying Book delivers, ranging from the deeply
wonky, a revisionist discussion of the Bernoulli effect involving
wing lift, to the nitty-gritty, such as why vacuum toilets are
better than flush types. A good gift for a long flight." --San
Antonio Express-News"This is one book that lives up to the
seemingly hyperbolic claims of its subtitle. Blatner offers a
compendium of fascinating facts. A wonderful treat for aviation
aficionados." --Booklist
