Walter Kahn's love affair with gliding started in 1945 and as a very active glider and power pilot, he competed in national and international gliding contests, broke numerous gliding records and taught very many men and women to fly. This extremely funny book, with a wealth of stories about scrapes and escapes, machines and pilots book tells many stories about the people Wally met over fifty-odd years, their flying machines and the events of the golden years of gliding leading to the glider movement as it is today.
