Preface to pocket aviation by Dennis Pagen
I first met Panayiotis Kaniamos in 1998 on one of my numerous trips to
Greece. I was immediately struck by his love of
paragliding and his determination to share his extensive knowledge of the
sport with his fellow pilots. He soon showed the Greek version of Pocket
Aviation to me.
Even with my limited knowledge of the Greek language, I immediately could
see the quality of the book and the professionalism of the layout and
illustrations. It appeared that Panayiotis had come up with a good book that
his countrymen could use as a learning (and teaching) tool.
When Panayiotis introduced the idea of an English translation of his book
and a companion CD, I was happy to see that he wished to expand on the reach
of this product through a different language and the widespread CD media.
We jumped at the chance to publish it and bring it to a wider audience.
Panayiotis’unique perspective and his extensive research combine to render
this book one of the best introduction book to the beautiful sport of
paragliding.
I wish you all the best in your quest for adventure in the air. With safety
in mind and this book-CD set as a guide, you are
sure to expand your horizons.
Dennis Pagen
Dennis Pagen has been writing about sport aviation hang gliding,
paragliding, ultralights and weather since 1975.
He has written 15 books and over 400 magazine articles, all related to
flying for fun. There doesn't seem to be an end to this activity, for as the
sports continue to evolve, new techniques and experiences demand definition.
His various training manuals are used widely all over the world.
Within his involvement the United States Hang Gliding Association (which
also includes paragliding) Dennis wrote the USHGA Instructor's Manual and
helped develop many of the training and rating programs.
After expanding his interest to ultralights in 1979, Dennis chose to take up
the lightest and newest aviation sport in 1989. Paragliding was a great
addition to his flying experience. Dennis strives for any new aerial
experience today. His further activity in flying consists of designing light
aircraft, instructing and running meets as well as competing himself. Today,
he lives with his wife, Claire, in Central Pennsylvania where he flies
paragliders, hang gliders or ultralights every chance he gets.
