Malcolm Grayley's review on Amazon

This must be one of the few dictionaries that make a good read in themselves! It was intended to be a companion to "Air Crashes and Miracle Landings" by the same author. But it has so many intriguing bits of information in that it makes a great read in its own right - I read it straight through cover to cover.

ISBN 978-0-9560723-3-7
Trade Paperback 6" x 9" 170 Pages
RRP $11.95 £8.50

Captivating reading for anyone fascinated by aviation, and an unparalleled primer for those thinking of learning to fly or concerned with aviation and safety. Not only does it cover today's world, but also adds an important historical perspective.

Explains basic procedures such as takeoff and landing,noting the V-speeds required for safety at the various stages. Hidden among the more technical entries are many with fascinating if not invaluable information for passengers. Also, for the benefit of younger readers and the curious, some non-aviation entries are included.

The technical entries are easy to read as they were initially composed as the glossary and appendix to Air Crashes and Miracle Landings, where the aim was to explain the aviation terms simply but properly.
