Summary

What does it take to fly a World War II fighter or land without a working engine? What causes flight delays and scary near-misses? The answers are revealed over the course of Adam L. Alpert's forty years of flying-from cardboard glider to modern jet airplane. Through his engaging stories of flight, readers will learn how interpersonal skills can be tested in the course of challenges and how a positive outcome often depends on the right combination of passion, desire, and skill. Readers will also have the vicarious experience of flying a wide variety of aircraft while improving their knowledge of the technical aspects of flying. With charming watercolor illustrations and photographs throughout, We Have a No Crash Policy! explains flying technology and human factors from the pilot's point of view in an understandable, humorous way, offering a practical guide to the factors that predict successful missions both in life and in the cockpit
