The cult soaring book by British author G. Dale — Volume 1 (revision 2): flying in thermals, on ridges, over flatland and in the mountains.

The Soaring Engine series explains how sun, wind and terrain combine to create the rising air a glider pilot uses. This volume shows how wind flows over and around hills, ridges and mountains, how thermals form and develop, and how to use the lift created in both flat and mountainous country.

Illustrated with clear, simple diagrams — essential reading for soaring pilots, from paraglider to high-performance sailplane.
