Good Book, but it depends on what you need it for
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I had this book while in college, and now I use it frequently at work. As a teaching tool it is horrible. It is vague and lacks detailed explanations. For real world use it is invaluable. I use it a lot and it is an excellent general reference book. If you need a general reference for aerodynamics and aircraft flight get it. If you are looking for a teaching tool look elsewhere.
An absolutly outstanding text!

This book is by far the best I'v seen in it's class. I have similare books by J. Anderson and J. Bertin & M. Smith, all of which I feel are excelent texts. But this book stands above them all. I specifically like this book for its completeness and I especially like its significant amounts of included data, especially for the Cherokee 180, which really give you a feel for reality, and a means to calibrate your calculations.
