Pros: Thorough review of flight aerodynamics.
Review:
Any pilot who will be going into turboprop or turbojet aircraft should read this. Its strenght is the complete review of aerodynamics. The FAA stuff is basic for general aviation. This would be an advanced version. You likely need to be at least a 'B' grade student in college to comprehend it. If you can understand it, you'll become a much safer flyer. It must be read to understand its value in safe flights.

Pros: Very comprehensive.
Review:
In 1978, I went through the USAF Flight Safety Officer's Course and we dissected this book page by page. While there, I had the honor of meeting its author, Dr. Harry Hurt. My original copy is faded, marked up and pretty ragged around the edges, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. It remains my go to book on aerodynamics.
