It would help if you could tell us a little bit more about your
interest and/or experience-level... Can you share any more details?

Hi Noel, thanks for the reply. I'm new to real life soaring. I am 37
and have been flying r/c gliders for 15 years, and just completed my
third lesson in a Blanik L23. Over the weekend I worked a little on
the tow, turns, and landings. It was a lot of fun and of course now I
can't stop thinking about flying.

I was looking for something entertaining to read in between reading
the glider flying handbook and the test prep book. Something which is
more of a documentary or story, history or fiction ... it could be
about gliding, or just a story about learning to fly (in general) from
childhood through adulthood, etc. But gliding of course would make it
even most interesting for me at the moment.

Thanks,
