Title: Hang gliding
Description: This book was written by Dr. Dunstan Hadley, the medical adviser to the British hang Gliding Association. It is a basic training hand book for those interested in learning how to fly a hang Glider. Although published in 1979, it was written between 1976 and 1977 and discribes how to pilot a Standard Rogallo type Hang Glider. At that time there was a lack of training material and it was a very usefull addition to the library for any novice Hang Glider pilot at that time. It is well written with good quality photographs and diagrams. Although by todays standards of Hang Glider design the Standard Rogallo wing was very basic, much of the basic techniques used to pilot one of these aircraft remains the same. The pictures are from the Devils Dyke and other popular hang Gliding launch sites on the English South Downs. Definately a collectors item for those interested in Hang Gliding or air sports.
