You are correct. There simply is very little good writing in
aviation. Perhaps it's because there is relatively little money to be
made, and thus little new blood. We've all noticed the nearly 100%
old farts at airports and fly-ins; few young people, with their energy
and creativity, can afford or are interested in flying.

That's why I started subscribing to the Atlantic. Not an aviation
mag, but very good writers, including the son of Wolfgang
Langewiesche. After a bit you get accustomed to people who know how
to use English, and at that point Lane Wallace and the others read
worse and worse.
