An Illustrated Guide to Flying Paperback – Illustrated, December 13, 2022

Small, compact book, packs a ton of info. Nice job by Captain Schiff. Hits the most important parts of each subject, without getting too deep into all the details. Great for someone who wants a basic understanding of all things aviation.

i BOUGHT THIS FOR A GRAND DAUGHTER TO TRY TO SPARK HER INTEREST IN FLYING. AFTER I GOT IT I REALIZED IT WAS A PERFECT MANUAL TO REFRESHEN MY OWN AVIATION KNOWLEDGE. THIS BOOK WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT TEXTBOOK FOR A BEGINNERS AVIATION CLASS. EASY TO READ, GREAT ILLUSTRATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHS. THINK I WILL KEEP THIS COPY AND GET MY GRAND DAUGHTER ANOTHER ONE.

Great book. Lots of nice illustrations and great information. Worth a look.

The original version has been passed around my family for the last sixty years. There was no question that the new one would be purchased when we found out about it. Of course, Barry Schiff has done a great job on this edition as well. There is a new pilot growing up in the house and he has now been introduced to Barry Schiff’s useful and direct writing style. He is instantly relatable to pilots of all ages. I hope this one has a sixty year run as well.

Bought as a gift, the young man loved it.

As a flight-instructor it is vital to have your teaching efforts fall on a general fertile ground comprised of disparate items, which build upon each other and build a lattice and create curiosity.Barry Schiff’s book does that, and I look forward giving all my students a copy of that book as a present.A GREAT addition to aviation’s library.

Barry Schiff hit this book out of the park. Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with color pictures and graphics. The text is comprehensively written for the student pilot that wants above the bar subject excellence. I’ve already purchased 6 and will be giving each of my students this gift of aviation knowledge and wisdom.

My husband says this is a great aviation/history read
