There's no doubt that all the fun and tough planes have tailwheels! You may be taking a tailwheel checkout to eventually fly aerobatics or ski-equipped aeroplanes. Regardless, the experience of making a proper and good landing in a taildragger is particularly satisfying! Once you've mastered a tailwheel aeroplane, you'll also have a strange experience the next time you fly a tricycle gear aeroplane: Is it that easy? You have become a better pilot There are numerous excellent books on tailwheel flying, but this book aims to provide a readily understandable compilation of the theoretical foundation one should have before starting a first tailwheel checkout. Regulatory Requirements (FCL.700) state that if you want to fly tailwheel aeroplanes, you must undergo «differences training», either at a flight school or with an independently qualified instructor. The theory (which this book will cover) is commonly done through self-study before starting the practical part.

When he earns his wings, Tom Fitzgerald learns that he will not be flying jets, but propeller driven Skyraiders. When he and his nemesis, Dean Claymore, report for duty in Miami, Florida they discover that the old taildragger can deliver tons ordnance; however it is unforgiving of inexperienced aviators. Fortunately Miami offers diversions, such as airline stewardesses, jai alai frontons, and all night cocktail lounges. When the squadron deploys to the Far East it deals with bizarre aircraft accidents, a humiliating encounter in a Manila bar, and a wacky operation to rescue US citizens from a civil war on Sumatra. Days before they are to return home, Tom and Dean disappear over the Philippines and are feared to be victims of communist guerillas. Crammed with nonstop aviation adventure, this saga will not let you go until the final page has been turned.

Daniel Ford learned to fly at the age when most of us are well into retirement. In this short book, he tells how it was to have a flight instructor one-third his age, to make a Sentimental Journey to the Pennsylvania airport where the Piper Cub first saw the light of day, to practice spins and aerobatic turns in a Great Lakes biplane, to fly low and slow in New Jersey, to make a leisurely tour around the Big Lake and into his past, and to have a close encounter with the National Defense Emergency of September 11, 2001. A delightful read for anyone who ever dreamed of becoming a pilot. Illustrated; about 11,000 words.
