The first book to cover the entire spectrum of spatial disorientation in flight. This book examines the long history of spatial disorientation in flight, describes the movements of aircraft in mathematical detail, and explains how these movements can conspire to fool human sensory systems. It also examines the visual mechanisms that contribute to perceptions of self motion, describes the contribution of psychological factors to spatial disorientation and defines the types of visual and nonvisual illusions pilots experience in flight.
