This book investigates the specific operational challenges and safety protocols required for successful night flight navigation. Author Lewis Bjork, drawing on his extensive background as an instructor, aerobatic performer, and test pilot, provides a comprehensive framework for night operations. He synthesizes personal experience with formal aviation regulations and accident data to offer a practical guide for pilots seeking to improve their proficiency in low-light environments.

Experts highlight this work as a foundational text for pilots transitioning into night operations due to its focus on practical application rather than purely theoretical physics. Readers frequently note the clarity of the prose and the direct relevance of the accident analysis to everyday flight safety.
