Still the best!
- By Ron Walters from Savannah, Ga on Saturday, February 19, 2011
- Pros: Very comprehensive.
- Cons: Very few, if any.
- 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.

Must read aviators
- By Brian Johnson from Lake Tahoe, CA on Tuesday, February 3, 2015
- Pros: Thorough review of flight aerodynamics.
- Cons: May have to read it twice to understand some concepts.
- 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.
