I am suprised that I have not seen him mentioned here, might just be me. I think his first book was "weekend pilot", my copy is long gone I read it so many times it came apart, kept me on track when I was learning to fly. I just ran across my copy of "weekend wings" I think its time to read it again. :yesnod:

I first ran across Smith's "Week-end Pilot" while browsing through books at a used book store a few years ago.

It was a pleasant read, so I went looking for more of his books on Amazon, where I bought a used copy of "Weekend Wings." I later picked up "Flights of Fancy" and lastly his "Private Pilot's Survival Manual".

His survival book seemed to give some good advice on how to prepare for survivable aircraft accidents so one doesn't die while waiting for rescue.
