Summary: A wonderful reference and learning guide
Review: I read the other reviews here, and felt the need to add my opinion. I've been flying for over twenty years, and teaching for over three. As Rod suggests, I offer my students the choice between the Jeppesson and Machado texts. Not only do my students enjoy the Machado flight manual, I find that they understand the material better. If any material is interesting to the student, they will learn it more easily and remember it.I also am curious that another review found the book to be less than technically correct. Simply look at the stack of awards that this book and it's author has received. Without hesitation, I let my students learn from Rod who is one of the most published and honored flight instructors in the United States. The book is not an engineering text book, and few students would finish their training if we treated them all like engineering students. I find Rod's explanations to be more accurate and understandable than the FAA's own manuals. I highly recommend this book based on the content, and the impact I've seen this book have on my students.

Summary: Comic book....
Review: Even if your not totally serious about learning to fly, buy it for the laughs. You will laugh your head off reading this book. Rod has my vote any day.
