Birdmen, Batmen, and Skyflyers: Wingsuits and the Pioneers Who Flew in Them, Fell in Them, and Perfected Them
Not a sky diver and have never been interested, but hubby has done over 2000 jumps,so felt I needed to show an interest. Easy to read, at times funny and sad. Gives a fabulous insight into the pioneers of sky diving and wing suit flyers
