Description

For everyone from frequent fliers to aviation geeks, travel buffs to nervous travelers, Captain Doug Morris tells you everything you want (and need!) to know about flight

Captain Doug Morris has been writing for his airline’s in-flight magazine for 24 years and has answered a gamut of questions. This Is Your Captain Speaking will draw from his extensive experience and explain everything you ever wanted to know about airline travel: whether airliners have keys, why the bumps, what aircrew get up to on layovers, what’s the deal with “mile-high memberships,” and how to become a pilot. It also provides entertaining anecdotes from air travel’s unsung heroes — flight attendants. It’s the A to Z of airline travel with a twist of humor. The flight deck door will always be closed, but Doug exposes the unique inner world of aviation to the public.

Wow this book was extremely informative and interesting. I liked the way the author has planned the book as if they would plan a flight route out. I really enjoyed the humour and comical aspect of the author as although there were many facts within this book there were points where the author added humour which was great as it stops you getting fed up!

I think every single possible question ever asked about flights, flying, weather, aircraft has been asked and answered in this book. I enjoyed the read as just a nosy person in general, but this book would be great for aspiring pilots, people who enjoy flying and what to read the inside truths, or anyone who enjoys biographies.

Thank you to @netgalley and @ECWpress for allowing me to read this ARC.

Doug Morris' "This Is Your Captain Speaking" is a fun, informative read, even if you have been flying 100K miles annually for years. Written in approachable (no pilot's license required!), folksy prose, the information Capt. Morris shares puts the nervous flyer at ease and leaves the most frequent of flyers saying, "Well, that I never knew. Now I know." This is a quick, captivating read, too. Thank you to #NetGalley and #ecwpress for the chance to preview this book.
