This book was written by Ray Stark, a commercial airline pilot who wanted to pass on some of the great information pilots learn through training and experience flying the line. Ray thought, “If it so important that we know about some of these topics, why shouldn't the general public have access to the same information?” Until this book was written, much of this knowledge was out of reach of the average traveler. The response from readers all over the world indicates Ray hit the nail on the proverbial “head.” Thousands of readers from Europe to Australia have responded overwhelmingly positively to the book and many sales are repeat sales for family or friends. While the book does aim to help those who have concerns or questions about commercial aviation, it is not solely directed at that audience. Many people who travel frequently on business or pleasure have always wondered about some of the “whys” and “hows” associated with commercial aviation. This book serves that need as well. It is a fun read with technical “sidebars” the reader is free to skip. Be advised, Ray has had many compliments on his ability to break complex concepts down into easily understandable bits. From a housewife and mother of two, “I never believed I would understand, much less be interested in some of these topics but, I really enjoyed the way you explained them in simple terms. If I can understand this stuff, anyone can." This Is Your Captain Speaking is a high-quality, 9x6 inch, illustrated paperback sized to travel along with you in your carry-on bag. At 202 pages, it covers all aspects of the airline business including how the planes are built, how safe they really are, what each noise is during a routine flight, how planes fly in the weather, what threat weather really poses, how airlines make sure things go right, what happens when things go wrong, suggestions on how to keep your sanity during the air travel process, a little information on Aerospace Physiology and why your ears sometime hurt inflight and what to do about it, as well as an aviation glossary and an index of helpful information for those seeking help in overcoming anxiety about airline travel. |
