For Love of Flying is an authentic story that captures the diverse journey of a conventional individual who, at age 55, takes on the personal challenge of learning to fly small aircraft.
The well-illustrated narrative describes, largely in sequential detail, early training procedures through to gaining a private pilot's licence.
