Practical Flying

[leonard]

Hey, just looking thru my shelves and found this little book that came with Empire's Flying Corps way back mid 90s. It's an actual RAF instruction book compiled during WWI by a Flying Instructor. Hmm. I may have to serialize it for you all...

Yes, I must have it too, as I have that good old sim. But have a look into it first, before you make copies or a PDF for others, as there might be a copyright on it. If that is the case, you should better not do it. There are lawyers these days, who just plough through the web, in search of people, they can charge for illegal behaviour.
But thanks for the hint - I'll dig it out; and maybe, others here have it too.

Naturally I don't know to what depth they go yet, but it's my understanding that Phase 3 contains quite a few manuals itself.

I've been though one Fire, I know for a FACT I have nothing prior to 99.

What I miss the most is my snapshots

What better study then his well accepted book,
THE AEROPLANE SPEAKS, BY H. BARBER, A.F.AE.S.

I put all the book html files in a archive file for download. You can then read it off line or easily print it out, etc.

Nice posts guys!
I am currently reading a book about Aeronautics (with some hard math in it :faint "Mechanics of Flight" by A C Kermode and it is really interesting. Got some work to do until P3 arrives :ernae:
