Product information "The Art of Gliding"

The gift book for every glider pilot!

"The Art of Gliding" is a book about the love of silent flight.

"The Art of Gliding" is an enthralling book that delves deeply into the world of gliding. Simon Lemmerer, the author, shows readers a harmonious combination of exciting stories and breathtaking photographs documenting over ten years and a thousand hours of gliding in the Alps.

Flying skills for mountain pilots

This book provides a comprehensive account of mountain flying techniques for mountain pilots in the eastern Alps, as well as the most comprehensive guide to flying in the southern foehn, with helpful fold-out general maps with 900 mm width. Various eastern Alps flying areas, such as the Engadine and South Tyrol, are highlighted and described in detail.

Contributions from the best pilots

"The Art of Gliding" is enhanced by contributions from notable glider pilots. Baptiste Innocent, who flew an FAI triangle over the Mediterranean to Corsica, and Gordon Boettger, who flew 3,059 km in the wave updrafts of North America´s Sierra Nevada in 2023, are among them. In addition, Werner Luidolt´s review of the last Barron Hilton Cup and Benni Bachmaier´s eventful journey to the Matterhorn are included in the book, along with other exciting stories by Clemens Ceipek, Bert Schmelzer, Rudi Schlesinger, and Erich Lemmerer.

Outstanding and comprehensive

The book stands out for its high-quality, environmentally friendly printing and paper selection - a graphically appealing and timeless design that is pleasing to the eye. It has 402 pages, is bilingual in German and English, and is published in a generous 225 by 310 mm format.

Rated product The Art of Gliding

Der neue Klassiker

Das Buch ist ein neuer Klassiker für unseren Sport. Ausdrucksstarke Bilder, packende Stories, hilfreiche Karten und ein Schuss philosophisches Gedankengut zur Kunst des Segelfliegens. Das Bucht bietet Laien, Schülern, Fortgeschrittenen aber auch Meistern Informationen, Anregungen und handfeste Hilfestellungen. Und das in grafisch ansprechender Form mit liebevollen Gestaltungsdetails, die sich teilweise erst nach und nach offenbaren. Das einzige Manko teilt der Band mit unserem Sport - nichts geht schnell und schon gar nicht in einem. Das Buch will nach und nach erobert werden, so wie unsere Alpen. Es darf in keiner Luftfahrtsammlung fehlen.
