The Book: " Stick and Rudder" Have you read it?

[FloridaPilot]

Hello,

I read Stick and Rudder a while ago and I'm picking it up a second time. I love the book and when I start reading it I can't put it down. If you haven't read it I would suggest you pick up a copy, really cheap, (Something like 6 bucks). If you have read the book what was your favorite part of the book, would you like to elaborate...Thanks!!

My favorite is "The Airplanes Gaits" Chapter 2, (Especially 35-40)

Whats yours?

I didn't see mention of a ghost writer, but he also had a great writing style and there was a ton of interesting information as well as getting the feel of where aviation was at that time, and how huge a thing his flight was.

It is widely thought his wife, Anne, heavily edited and rewrote the work. She was an outstanding writer with some classics like "Gift From The Sea".
