|  | All You Ever Wanted to Know about Flying by J. S. Evans
Whether inspired by curiosity or by fear of flying, the question of How does that plane fly? is on the minds of many travelers. For frequent or wary travelers, a clear answer to this question could bring great relief. The answers to this and numerous other flight-related questions are provided in this new book, which was written by a Boeing 757 pilot who has comforted and assured many a nervous passenger. This book describes the makeup of a modern plane, its engines, controls, and operational systems. It also covers the physical forces at work as a plane takes flight, and the methods by which a pilot controls a plane while aloft and at the critical moments of take-off and during landing. For many readers, taking the mystery out of flying will remove some of the fear. For those who are simply curious, this book provides the answers, and their awareness will make their next flight even more enjoyable. AUTHOR: J. S. Evans
