Gliding and Soaring by Bill Scull
Gliding presents those who take up its challenge with ever-widening horizons. The sheer beauty of the countryside viewed in silence from several thousand feet is, even in these days of air travel, the privilege of only a few.
Learning to glide requires instruction in the air, but ground instruction is equally important. The pilot must understand the principles before he can make the best use of his time in the air.
In Gliding and Soaring, Bill Scull provides a complete basis for learning the skills and judgement required for flight without power. His book is complementary to practical instruction, ranging from how to start, to advanced cross-country flying techniques.
Bill Scull became a club instructor seventeen years ago; he is now the Senior National Coach for the British Gliding Association. He has taught both beginners and expert pilots, and knows both the difficulties the beginner will meet, and the challenge of advanced soaring.
