Based on these articles, Langewiesches classic work on the art of flying was published in 1944. This book explains precisely what pilots do when they fly, just how they do it, and why. These basics are largely unchanging. The book applies to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and instructor. Today, several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva;\"\u003eWHATS IN STICK AND RUDDER:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva;\"\u003eThe invisible secret of all heavier-than-air flight--the Angle of Attack.

Early in his flying he was struck by a strange discrepancy: in piloting, the words and the realities did not agree. What pilots claimed to be doing, in flying an airplane, was not what they were in fact doing. What the pilot really did was poorly describe in print and in airport talk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva;\"\u003eLangewiesche set himself the task of describing more accurately and realistically what the pilot really does when he flies.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva;\"\u003eThe first result, from 1940 on, was a series of articles in AIR FACTS, analyzing various points of piloting technique.
