Download or read book An Aviator s Journal written by James D. Fox and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-08-17 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a young man’s dream come true, the problems he faced when he got there, how he faced those problems, and what happened as a result. The story is not only about flying, but also about human nature. After all, the people who fly airplanes, are still just people, and enhanced or encumbered by the position where they find themselves. The author often sees situations from the humorous side, so you can expect some laughs as well as some heart stopping adventures. Technical points are explained for the technically challenged. It is easy reading and contains no love interest. Sorry, Mrs. Parker. The author’s high school English teacher suggested that stories should contain a love interest if expected to have a commercial value.
Download or read book Shuttle Houston written by Paul Dye and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the longest-serving Flight Director in NASA's history comes a revealing account of high-stakes Mission Control work and the Space Shuttle program that has redefined our relationship with the universe. A compelling look inside the Space Shuttle missions that helped lay the groundwork for the Space Age, Shuttle, Houston explores the determined personalities, technological miracles, and eleventh-hour saves that have given us human spaceflight. Relaying stories of missions (and their grueling training) in vivid detail, Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving Flight Director, examines the split-second decisions that the directors and astronauts were forced to make in a field where mistakes are unthinkable, and where errors led to the loss of national resources -- and more importantly one's crew. Dye's stories from the heart of Mission Control explain the mysteries of flying the Shuttle -- from the powerful fiery ascent to the majesty of on-orbit operations to the high-speed and critical re-entry and landing of a hundred-ton glider. The Space Shuttles flew 135 missions. Astronauts conducted space walks, captured satellites, and docked with the Mir Space Station, bringing space into our everyday life, from GPS to satellite TV. Shuttle, Houston puts readers in his own seat at Mission Control, the hub that made humanity's leap into a new frontier possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonel Henry Harley Arnold was known as having a permanent smile on his face. By the 1920s that smile would earn him the nickname of “Happy” soon shortened to “Hap”. Arnold graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, West Point in 1907. In April 1911, he took the difficult Ordnance Department exams and renewed his offer to fly for the army. After completing training with the Wrights Brothers course, Arnold received license number 29 and became one of two active pilots in the U.S. Army. This 38 page booklet tells of Arnold’s military life accomplishments and ranks to Lt. General and covers the span of his life from June, 1886, through his death in January 1950. This booklet is part of the Air Force Fiftieth Anniversary Commemorative Edition.

Download or read book Evolution of International Aviation written by Dawna L. Rhoades and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it lays out the forces that shaped the international aviation industry and that changed all the rules in the drive for liberalization. Second, it looks at the many interesting and difficult choices ahead that the airline industry in general and the international aviation industry in particular face. These choices include many dichotomies: pulling back from the trend toward liberalization or embracing the liberalization trend, merging in search of profitability or fragmenting the industry in search of economies. These possible futures are explored including the pros and cons of each future from a national, consumer, employer, and employee perspective. As with the previous two editions, Evolution of International Aviation reviews the historical development of the international aviation system. From this foundation it then provides an updated and expanded account of the current state of the aviation and aerospace industry including profitability, consolidation, and merger activity. New to this edition, the book broadens the coverage of the industry segments - airlines, air cargo, and manufacturing - to include the emerging commercial space sector. It also emphasizes the relationship between aviation and the political process, exploring the sustainability of this mode of transportation in a world of climate change, high oil prices, and political instability. Because this book is intended for both the interested amateur and the more serious student, references are provided in the text and at the end of each chapter to allow for further in-depth study. The third edition also adds to each chapter a set of learning objectives and a concluding series of questions for discussion.

For millions of people, travel by air is a confounding, uncomfortable, and even frightening experience. When you go behind the scenes, however, you can see that the grand theater of air travel is actually fascinating. From the intricate design of airport architecture to the logistics of inflight service, here is everything you need to know about flying. Commercial airlines like to hide the truth from customers and do nothing to comfort nervous fliers. And what's scarier than the unknown? In this aviation book, pilot Patrick Smith breaks down that barrier and tells you everything you need to know about flying, including: How planes fly, and a revealing look at the men and women who fly them Straight talk on turbulence, pilot training, and safety The real story on delays, congestion, and the dysfunction of the modern airport The myths and misconceptions of cabin air and cockpit automation Terrorism in perspective, and a provocative look at security Airfare, seating woes, and the pitfalls of airline customer service The true colors and cultures of the airlines we love to hate Cockpit Confidential is a thoughtful, funny, and at times deeply personal look into the strange and misunderstood world of commercial flying. If you liked other books about airplanes for adults, including Soar by Tom Bunn or Skyfaring, you'll find reassurance, humor, and guidance in Cockpit Confidential. "Anyone remotely afraid of flying should read this book, as should anyone who appreciates good writing and great information." —The New York Times, on ASK THE PILOT "Patrick Smith is extraordinarily knowledgeable about modern aviation...the ideal seatmate, a companion, writer and explorer." —Boston Globe
