(390 pages) the aviaton classic no pilot should be without in the early 1940's, wolfgang langewiesche wrote a series of articles in air facts analyzing the various aspects of piloting techniques. based on these articles, langewiesche's classic work on the art of flying was published in 1944. stick and rudder explains precisely what pilots do when they fly, just how they do it, and why. these basics are largely unchanging. the book applies to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and instructor. today, several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information, but stick and rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying. here is the first exact analysis of the art of flying. it represents four years of research, flying and writing, and it shows exactly what the pilot does when flying, how it's done, and why. the book's main objective is to help the student become a good pilot quickly and surely, and to help the instructor understand more thoroughly the fundamentals of this profession. careful reading of the book should be the equivalent of several hundred hours of flight practice. wolfgang langewiesche first soloed in 1934 in chicago. early in his flying he was struck by a strange discrepancy: in piloting, the words and the realities did not agree. what pilots claimed to be doing in flying an airplane, was not what they did in practice. langewiesche set himself the task of describing more accurately and realistically what the pilot really does when he flies. the first result was a series of articles in air facts, analyzing various points of piloting technique. in 1944 stick and rudder was published. wolfgang langewiesche (princeton, nj).
