An aviation BibleMay 27, 2007 Slow Roll(England) As an experienced aerobatic pilot I can say that this was one of the most influencial books in my life. Neil Williams was a former Empire Test Pilot School graduate and 11 times British aerobatic champion, as well as European Champion and Captain of the British Aerobatic team from 1966 to 1977. In 1970 he performed an incredible feat when he successfully crash landed a Zlin after a wing folded during aerobatic practice. A must have book for any aerobatic pilot.
Somewhat dated but still an interesting readNovember 21, 2001 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Too much of what is in this book is out of date for today's competition aerobatics. Therefore it does not make for a useful manual for pilots new to the sport (Bill Thomas and Mike Goulian's books are far superior). However, it makes an interesting read for the more experienced aerobat who can separate the wheat from the chaffe within the text.
