Thunder in the Tummy!

This book is the perfect book about flying for those of us who know nothing about flying. Mr. Elman has an outlandishly funnybone-tickling way of describing his various and sundry flying escapades.I, for one, will never be able to look at a picture of a raccoon without bursting into hysterical laughter at the memory of the infamous rabid 'coon episode in Mr. Elman's side-splitter, which needs to be in everyone's bookshelf of humor whether they know anything about flying or not. Even the copyright information is funny.Bravo, Mr. Elman! If laughter is the best medicine, I have just made you my own personal physician!

Pilot logbook entries seem to have been extracted and made eminently coherent and relevant. We are in the cockpit with the pilot... or on the ground, at general aviation airports... and with him and his zany flying buddies. The book is reader-friendly and non-technical. It is also exceedingly funny! The author is unsparing of everyone, especially himself. The realm of flight, it may be said, is frought with fright, but it is also laced with true hilarity at the hands of this author. I rate it as a five-star prize winner.
