Nothing takes the place of flying the airplane, but understanding the numbers goes a long way. This book was not the type of thing you read in one sitting. It is more like a manual that you refer back to over and over. I highly recommend it if you are a vintage bonanza enthusiast. The author clearly knows his stuff and gave me some good ideas that I use over and over.
A must for every Bonanza pilot

I just got a copy from Sporty's. I devoured it as soon as I started looking through it.I will be recomending it to my friends who fly the Bonanza. I expect I will re-read it again and again. It also will come in very handy towards making some placards for various speeds and manuvers.
Very clear & concise exploration/explanation of performance

This text goes directly to aircraft performance without digression. Clear and easy to read yet well documented. I have looked for a book like this for some time and am very happy to have found it. If you liked Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators (ISBN 1-56027-140-x) but thought it too long and too general you will treasure this book.This is an ideal complement / study guide to the aircraft manufacturer's Pilot Operating Handbook.
