Summary:This book provides insight from a Russian perspective into the psychology of flyers (pilot and other aircrew members), and their constant struggle to cope with the procedures dictated by ground-based directors while enjoying the thrill and emotional high of flight. The author takes the reader through the turmoil of flight emergencies, unpopular ground-directed missions, and, ultimately, aircraft mishaps.

Those improvements can come from knowledge based on research and appreciation of the flyers' mission
