ISBN: 0-672-52534-8 Language: English Description: Hang gliding is flying. In just the few years of its existence, it has already become a popular sport, and its followers are ever increasing in number. For them, and for anyone else captured by the spirit of flight, hang gliding is the realization of a cherished dream.
Hang gliding is also an accurate index of the future synergy of man and technology, as well as an expression of the feeling and the reality of our present era, for it combines aerodynamics, space technology, and gymnastics with electronics, photography, ecology and meteorology.
A Hole in the Wind is the definitive book on hang gliding. This fascinating sport is traced from its earliest days, when flight existed only in the imagination- a recurring theme in mythology. A Hole in the Wind also provides a handbook for the layman, outlinging how and when to fly, and what- besides courage- a flyer needs to become airborne. It explains technique as well as safety, and is illustrated with numerous photographs and line drawings.
