  1. 1. The Triumph Of Instrument Flight

    A concise history of how pilots learned to fly by instruments rather than by sight, chronicling the technical innovations, landmark demonstrations and the people—inventors, test pilots and regulators—who turned gyroscopic instruments, radio navigation and landing systems into reliable tools; the book explains the development of training methods and procedures, the role of wartime pressure in accelerating advances, and how these changes revolutionized safety, commercial air transport and military operations to make all-weather flying routine.
