Written by an accomplished full scale pilot and R/C pilot, "Mastering Radio Controlled Flight" is an R/C flight instruction manual that offers a tried and true tested path to success.
R/C modeling can be a challenging hobby as a result of its very steep learning curve and the lack of "crash-ability" of even the most durable trainer. This book provides you with the knowledge and techniques you need to be successful.
This book offers an array of useful information to help pave the path from rank beginner, through basic flight training, precision aerobatics, and 3D flight. Much like any skill-set, learning R/C flight is a process. By starting with basic core knowledge and slowly integrating solid techniques, we can rig your path towards R/C competency for success.
Filled with over 100 innovative diagrams and easy to understand descriptions, this is like no other R/C flight manual you've ever seen. Most of the diagrams show precise stick placement along with the position of the model in each maneuver. Whether your goal is simply to be able to safely maneuver your model from takeoff through landing, fly traditional IMAC aerobatic sequences with style, or to pull off a parachute into a torque roll, this is the book for you.
Quoted from the Introduction:
To become your personal instructor is a goal of this book. I hate reading about the expensive problems that modelers have because they have had no formal instruction, and proceed blindly in this hobby. I highly recommend following the guidelines established in this book. By suggesting you use this book in conjunction with a mentor or instructor, and a flight simulator, I hope to make it possible to eliminate the growing pains and expensive repairs that often accompany learning to be a safe and accomplished pilot.
In addition, I hope to offer a learning experience to modelers of all skill levels regardless of prior experience. After 20+ years of flying model aircraft, I find that I learn new information, a new skill, or improve on a skill that I thought I had previously mastered, every single time I fly.
May your flying days be filled with calm winds, round loops, and soft touchdowns.

In this fascinating book the author chronicles the lives of ordinary people, of the airmen and others who were involved in the desperate struggle to free Europe from Nazi tyranny. Illustrated with many photographs, taken at the time, and since, this is a superb evocation of a period when two nations were suddenly thrown together in mutual cause, the resultant cultural clash, and the unbreakable bonds that were formed, lasting to the present day.
Martin W. Bowman has established an international reputation for his superb aerial photography. He is also a widely respected military historian who has written over seventy books on aviation and related subjects. Martin lives in Norwich, Norfolk, England and is active in historical research concerning East Anglia and the many RAF and USAAF squadrons that were based there during the War.
This latest book - The Air War In East Anglia is as a nostalgic salute to the US 8th Airforce in East Anglia. filled with atmospheric photographs and reminiscences from local people, it conjures a vivid impression of a period during the second world war when this rural corner of the country was transformed into Little America.
Martin Bowman will be talking and signing copies of his new book at the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library.
