Interesting stuff but rather outdated unless there is a recent update of which I am not aware. I did find the organisation of the book somewhat haphazard - some important areas almost disregarded and other 'trivial' aspects examined in depth perhaps reflecting the specific interests of the author. Many modern developments not covered though the title does talk about 'handling' not operating and most aspects of pure handling do not change - Airbus notwithstanding and the Airbus family perhaps need their own version of the book.
