I bought this edition for my son. However, when I was a flight instructor, I studied this book so that I would have a better understanding and could do a better job of explaining aerodynamics to my students. My copy is more than thirty years old, and I always considered this book to be my flying bible.

While the equations may seem, at first to be way, way over a lot of peoples’ heads, if the reader takes the time to look at the equation, and what each part stands for, you will better understand what happens when your airplane flies through the air. For me, it was interesting to take note that the equation for lift is almost identical to the equation for drag concerning density of air, velocity and etc… By studying you may learn and understand why an airplane flies slower due to induced drag; how the direction of lift changes from mostly up to up and to the opposite direction of flight.

The effects of wind velocity changes, such as when crossing a wind shear, why does the airplane tend to gain or lose altitude. I was able to do a better job of teaching crosswind operations as well. The dynamics of a spin; why does an airplane spin.

While certainly, most "learn to fly" books broach the subject, there is no real depth, leaving students to think in the most simple terms concerning flight rather than a more complete understanding.

Do you need this book to become a private pilot? No. But, if you are want to know more, you need this book. I do believe that if you are an instructor, you need this book.

This book is a classic about aerodynamics knowledge. I am excited for getting one. I will be able to improve my background and knowledge about so important issue. It’s basic to get good performance and skills flying. Know the magic consecuences about the mistery of flying…thak you.

Best book I have ever read on aerodynamics for pilots.
