Man I was just thinking the other day that I was looking forward to his eventual writeup of whatever comes of this Air India accident. RIP to a real one.
buildsjets•7mo ago
As the article notes, besides his own extensive career as an author of aviation literature and analysis, he is he son of Wolfgang Langewiesche, whose book “Stick and Rudder” probably provides the most layperson accessible explanation of aircraft stability and control.

I knew I recognized that name. Stick and Rudder is a great book for aviation nuts. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

This one hits. I'm so grateful for this person's labors. A rare author whose name I see and make a small sound of excitement, then grab a fresh coffee and huddle up for a satisfying hour+ journey of cinematic learning. Find a hideaway and do pick up anything he's written on a subject of interest you.
