Priced £8.50 in those days. And you've just inspired me to re-read it!

Understanding the sky Dennis Pagen.

Understanding the Sky will help you unlock the potential of every flying day. As cross country pilots, observation and analysis of the ever-changing conditions is crucial if we are to stay in the air and maximize our distances. Dennis Pagen's Understanding the Sky covers the macro-scale meteorological phenomena, from pressure systems to the Jet Stream, and also focuses in on the micro-met of everything from thermal formation to wave lift.

This book is a store of knowledge from 20 years of flying sport aircraft. If you've ever wondered why the air behaves as it does, this book is for you.. The greatest emphasis is on small-scale effects--excatly where we fly. Details are provided on everything from turbulence to thunderstorms. The chapters on lift sources and flying efficiency alone are worth the price of this book.
