"Only Seconds to Live" by Dr. Dunstan Hadley

'Stall' and 'spin' are the two words guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of a pilot's neck. This book contains first-hand accounts of both phenomena, ranging from the early days of flying when corrective techniques were not understood to jet age technology. Every pilot should know how to recover from a spin and this collection of examples will provide excellent instruction about how they might best be avoided and rectified. Exciting and informative reading for every pilot and aviation enthusiast.
