Review
Thank you for bringing Frati's "The Glider" to the English speaking world
and the modern era. I've followed the updates for several years now and
realize what a painstaking task it must be to accurately translate a
technical work while keeping it both readable and contemporary. You're doing
a remarkable job. My hat's off to you. I think the book is to design as
Langewiesche's "Stick and Rudder" is to flying. - Daniel Kauffman
