Flying Simply Explained: A Simple Explanation of the General Procedure of Flying a Light Aeroplane

"Flying Simply Explained" by Malcolm Logan from the Pitman’s “Simply Explained” series. Probably from the 1950s.

Flying Simply Explained is an accessible, non-technical introduction to the principles, operations, and practical realities of powered flight. Written for a general audience, it aims to remove mystique from aviation by breaking down how aircraft fly, how pilots control them, and what happens during a flight from take-off to landing.

The book covers four broad domains: (1) basic aerodynamics, (2) aircraft components and control, (3) flight operations, and (4) supporting aviation systems. It uses clear diagrams, simplified explanations, and everyday analogies to ensure that readers with no scientific background can follow.
