DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Adverse aircraft-pilot coupling (APC) events include a broad set of undesirable and sometimes hazardous phenomena that originate in anomalous interactions between pilots and aircraft. As civil and military aircraft technologies advance, interactions between pilots and aircraft are becoming more complex. Recent accidents and other incidents have been attributed to adverse APC in military aircraft. In addition, APC has been implicated in some civilian incidents. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about adverse APC and processes that may be used to eliminate it from military and commercial aircraft. It was written for technical, government, and administrative decisionmakers and their technical and administrative support staffs; key technical managers in the aircraft manufacturing and operational industries; stability and control engineers; aircraft flight control system designers; research specialists in flight control, flying qualities, human factors; and technically knowledgeable lay readers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Aviation books were a unique and prolific subgenre of American juvenile literature from the early to mid-20th century, drawing upon the nation's intensifying interest. The first books of this type, Harry L. Sayler's series Airship Boys, appeared shortly after the Wright brothers' first successful flight in 1909. Following Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic, popular series like Ted Scott and Andy Lane established the "golden age" of juvenile aviation literature. This work examines the 375 juvenile aviation series titles published between 1909 and 1964. It weaves together several thematic threads, including the placement of aviation narratives within the context of major historical events, the technical accuracy in depictions of flying machines and the ways in which characters reflected the culture of their eras. Three appendices provide publication data for each series, a list of referenced aircraft and an annotated bibliography; there is a full index.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Adventures and Misadventures of Ace the Pilot chronicles the deeds done right and deeds done wrong that the featured pilots lived through with sheer luck and by the grace of God. The stories included in this collection are true—at least as true as you can expect from pilots— who are not reliable sources So Ace the pilot will take some of the blame and all the credit for these stories. Author Butch Childers was a pilot for over eighteen years. Some of the tales are about him; some are about pilots he had the pleasure, or in some cases, the displeasure of sharing a flight or two with over the years. From “First Ride in a Chopper” to “Ducks in the Flap,” this collection of stories provides an inside look at the ups and downs of being a pilot, private or commercial. Whether you are a pilot or not, these stories are bound to pique the interest of anyone who has an interest in flying. This realistic collection of stories will resonate with pilots and civilians alike.
