DESCRIPTION:
Definitive aircraft manual Despite its age, this is still the definitive book on handling jets. Comprehensive coverage of the widest range of topics, and to the deepest depth needed to satisfy any technical enquiry. Davies has an unmatched writing style that is highly readable, and right up there with the likes of Bill Gunston. If you prefer reading fiction more than textbooks, then this book is just about as readable as fiction.Excellent sections on landing and takeoff. Davies makes full use of his background as Chief Test Pilot of what was then the UK Air. Elijah Chingosho said Timeless Classic. I acquired my first copy of "Handling the Big Jets" during my university days when studying aeronautical engineering (at Loughborough University of Technology, Leicestershire, England) in the early 1980s. This was an excellent reference book then on handling jets as it covered all the major topics that I needed comprehensively, in simple and easy to read language and explanations.However, decades later, it is difficult to find a similar definitive book on the subject. This makes "Handling the Big Jets" an important part of my libr.
