Résumé |
In Paul A. Schweizer's final book, readers are treated to a personal and insightful memoir, not only about gliders and sailplanes, but about family and the people Paul met during his more than 70 years as a sailplane visionary.
The book also documents soaring history throughout the last century, and also the creation and growth of the Soaring Society of America and National Soaring Museum. Paul's experiences as pilot, competitor, and manufacturer present a first-hand account of a life intimately entwined with the sport of soaring. |
