Summary: Wow! Great information and a moving story too!
Review: I didn't believe a small book could be so packed with information and deliver a moving story too! I had no fear of flying before, and now I can't wait to fly again! The author does a great job of telling the reader how planes fly without sounding too textbook. The story absorbs you as you are transported to the sky over the Northern California Delta. It's a quick read that will stay with you for a long time.

Summary: What an inspiring gift!
Review: I had received the book "Wings of Discovery" as a gift from my Mother. Only my family and close friends knew about my intense fear of flying phobia. I have tried many things to overcome my fear, but nothing seemed to do the trick. I started to read "Wings of Discovery" with a half opened mind. I set it in my head that this book would not help me, but I would at least try. I had no idea just how big of an impact this book would have on my life. Once I started to read it however, I simply could not put it down. This 130 page paperback book by Captain Stacey L. Chance fascinated me to no end. It was a non stop journey of how Mark Thomas confronts and conquers his fear of flying. It is a fictional story, however there are many questions that fearful fliers have, that are answered factually. Captain Stacey L. Chance presents us with a quite entertaining and at times humorous story that truly helps people who have this dreadful fear. When I completed the book, I stared off in the distance and actually pictured myself flying my own plane. Now that is something that I would have NEVER EVER imagined myself doing before. I will definitely recommend this book to anyone who has the same fear as me. I will read this book from time to time, but I will also read it again before I board my next flight, and take it with me on the plane. Not only was this book a gift from my Mother, but it was a gift from Captain Stacey. Thank you for giving me a gift that will last a lifetime.

Summary: Flying Made Easier !
Review: I HATE TO FLY! I always have.After reading this book, I will have a better understanding of 'why' planes make sharp turns, shake and rattle, bounce around, and (MORE IMPORTANTLY) where the oxygen comes from.
I now have a real curiosity about ultralights AND 'might' even ask for a ride - next time (?)
This book has enlightened me about planes and the basics for making a nicer/easier flight.
Thank You!! - Captain Stacey L. Chance :-)

Summary: Fearless Flying Can Be Yours!
Review: I read this book prior to a much-dreaded overseas flight, and found a remarkable amount of reassurance in its engrossing pages. Captain Chance not only delivers a story that revolves around some very interesting characters, but also relays easy-to-comprehend information about how flying machines actually fly -- something that many of us who have been fearful of flying were either misinformed about or did not fully understand. Thanks to this book, my last flight was a much more relaxed experience than it would otherwise have been. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has the slightest bit of trepidation about going up in a big ol' winged tube, as well as to anyone with an interest in or fascination with flying. I guarantee - you will be informed and intrigued!

Summary: An exhilarating flight
Review: Most of us have heard the saying, "There's nothing to fear, but fear itself." This rhetoric sounds good, but to actually put it to use is a completely different story. Fear can stop someone from experimenting with new activities, eating exotic foods, and traveling to foreign lands. But once you overcome the fear, you will most likely discover joy. This joy comes from the accomplishment of breaking the imaginary chains of thought which held you hostage. Wings of Discovery helps to clip the chains of fear. The premise of the book is about overcoming the fear of flying. Although his father was a pilot, Mark succumbs to a horrendous phobia about flying. Then one day, he spots two ultralight planes having "fun" in the air. While the planes land, Mark tracks them in his car and introduces himself to the pilots. This marks the beginning of his adventure - pursing his passion, following his dream and conquering his fear. Capt. Stacy L. Chance introduces the reader to a wealth of information about how the Federal Aviation Administration ensures the safety of aircraft. He also entertains by intermingling his vivid descriptions of the landscapes and scenery when his characters take flight. I felt as if I soared through the air, and watched as the coyote ran to keep up with the plane. For anyone really interested in learning to fly, I learned that airplane kits are available. I definitely recommend Wings of Discovery for anyone who wants to learn more about aviation, and to release any fears that hinder them from soaring to new dimensions.
