This book relates to my ethnography topic because it dives into the life and stresses of a pilot and helps you understand what they do and go through on a regular basis. It explains the routine business as well as the hard things, it helps see life through a pilots eyes.
This book teaches young pilots the basics of flying, as well as showing what its like as a veteran pilot. Robert Buck is a renowned pilot and his ability to teach young pilots how to fly is shown in this book. He has flown in many different aircraft and he has a lot of knowledge which is why he wrote the book, young pilots want to learn from the best. " After 18,000 hours as an airplane pilot, I just discovered flying. In thirty years my restless wings have taken me over most continents and oceans ― around the world ― but at 5,000 feet over the rolling pastoral countryside of Chemung County, New York, I discovered flight and the elusive link between the mechanical man-made machine and the aesthetic beauty of nature, the sky and the Lord's peace." -(Robert Buck) He knows the ways of flying and teaches you what its like to be a pilot. He is a great teacher and encourages his students, "But now come with me and we will go soaring." (Robert Buck) Overall this book shows great flying techniques and shows what pilots go through everyday.
