Scared of Flying

My assistant is scared of flying following a turbulence incident in hich she was thorughly shaken and can now only flywhen, in her own words, 'I'm as drunk as a skunk'.

As her direct manager I have set myself the task of persuading her that it is safe to fly again and that she can actually enjoy it.

I am looking for 2 things and I wonder if anyone can help....

a) I read a few years ago a small book that explained each stage of the flight including what noises meant what. i.e. flaps exetending or retracting

b) there was an article by, I believe a current El-Al captain, covering the subject.

If anyone can help in pointing me in the direction of this or any similar material I would be most grateful.
