"The best book about flying airplanes I have ever read." -- Ernest K. Gann

Developing and maintaining proficiency at the controls is a key concern for pilots at all levels.

In his foreword to the book, Ernest K. Gann writes, "I recommend you heed Schiff's messages because they are written by a true aviator... Schiff is a true pro, and he covers the whole lofty field of airmanship with the skill and the dignity it deserves."

Illustrated throughout with helpful charts and line drawings, The Proficient Pilot should be required reading for all who fly.
