Summary: A real page-turner
Review: "The school of hard knocks" is no place to learn aviation. The knowledge imparted by Mr. Schiff's years of experience is absolutely invaluable to a "green" student pilot like myself. His writing style reflected his love for aviation, talent for teaching and sense of humor. I could hardly put these books down! By passing on his experience in such a readable way, I definately feel he has helped me to be a safer pilot.

Summary: The best all around book(s) to make you a better pilot
Review: There are lots of great book for aviators out there. Most of them hit on one subject and are good like want to know about weather than try Weather Flying by Bob Buck or what about aerodynamics try Skip smiths books Illustrated guide to aerodynamics. Are you a new pilot and don't want to die, try The killing zone. Are you moving up kerosene then try the Turbine pilots flight manual or Fly the wing. But being a CFI/II/MEI this is the set of books that recommend first to all pilots of all capabilities. I have had a 20,000 hour 47 driver tell me he learned A LOT of things from these books. I re-read them just about every year and guess what I learn more and more. If I ever get to meet Mr. Schiff I would like to shake his hand and offer him a heartfelt thank you for making me a better pilot and a better instructor.
