Slipping the Surly Bonds: Great Quotations on Flight
Editorial Reviews
Review
Business & Commercial Aviation : It is said there's a book in everyone, and Dave English's was coaxed out by associates and friends who told him he had so much written material on the thrill of flight that he should compile and share it. English, a full-time pilot and part-time aviation writer, had piles of passages about aviation from books, letters from people at Boeing and NASA, reflections, inventors, and groaner cliches from pilots. His volume of compelling words on flight is called Slipping The Surly Bonds and surly it is not. Entertaining and quickly gratifying it is.
Professional Pilot : A new book by Pro Pilot contributing writer Dave English called Slipping The Surly Bonds: Great Quotations on Flight, captures the best quotes from da Vinci, Lindbergh, Armstrong, Yeager and others.
