What is Understanding Gliding: The Principles of Soaring Flight (Flying & Gliding) about?

This guide explains how and why a glider flies, and demonstrates, with the aid of diagrams, that the basic principles are not in fact complex. It answers questions such as "What actually happens when a gust of wind hits a glider?" and "What maintains, or disturbs, the stability of a machine?"
