Basic Flight Instruction - &amp;#8216;Advanced Techniques&amp;#8217;
A week or so ago when I posted a basic &amp;#8216;pitch, roll, yaw&amp;#8217; illustration from this book, a reblogger remarked that a &amp;#8216;learn to fly&amp;#8217; book would probably not get far beyond those basic aspects of aerodynamics &amp;#8230;
However, during the war &amp;#8230; among other things &amp;#8230; they included an interesting chapter on military flying as it was practised then. Rather than selling more&nbsp;ground school classes and flying lessons &amp;#8230; back then the emphasis was probably on graduating aircrew and getting them to the battle zones.
