Customer Reviews

This book is just great!
I am a student pilot in Switzerland. This book gave me a lot of information on helicopter flying. More than that, it thought me what is essential to know and to remember when flying. If you look for a very technical book, you will be certainly disappointed because the autor does not want to overload the subject with graphs and calculations. But the book is breathtaking for any reader interested in helicopters... (sorry for my english...)

Informative, well-written, and an all-around fun book
I read this book before I started my helicopter training just about two years ago. Since then, I have bought and read just about every book about rotary-wing aircraft that I can get my hands on. This book is fundamental in nature, but fairly complete none the less and an absolute joy to read. I recently read it again and loved it more than when I first picked it up. Of all the helicopter books I have read this one is still by far my favorite.

Easy to read, Fun to read, and very informative
This book really builds your confidence in learning about Helicopters and answers any concerns you have about flying them. I am truly impressed with this book and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is thinking about flying. I have not flown yet, but will in the future. This book eased my mind and makes me feel confident in being able to learn someday for real. Thank you for this great book. Order from Amazon and you should get it right away, I did! Brad Shifflett
