259 pages. Illustrations by the author. With the aid of 148 of his own diagrams the author demonstrates that the basic principles of gliding are not in fact complex, and he shows how a knowledge of the reasons for some of the seemingly wayward behaviour of a glider in the air helps a pilot to achieve consistently better results.Top edges dusty; pages 9-16 unstitched but undamaged.
