Front Cover Note:
"Soaring - the marvelously fun-filled and dramatic story of a man who took up gliding at forty-eight and lived to become a champion ...of sorts"
The front and back cover notes give a good overview of the book and the author. It is a great book. I particularly like how he documents the process of his learning to fly gliders. I also like the part where his mother sees him fly a glider for the first time. He also documents his first soaring contest efforts and the first time he won a day at a contest.
