Been interested in flying since I was 12 - 1958 when my grandmother bought me the June 1958 issue of Flying. Have always been interested on how airplanes fly especially after reading many conflicting explanations on how the wing creates lift. Think the book I purchased in 1977 - Stick and Rudder...
