Excellent book - By: , 28 Jul 2005 
This book is an excellent educational book for the aeronautical engineer. Anderson explains all the fundamentalsin plain english & all of his derivations are relatively simple to follow. Also with the addition of loads of examples, which i find missing from alot of other books on this topic, it makes the learing alot less gentle. One critism of the book that i would have is that it uses two sets of units, two seperate versions would have been nicer as i found myself skipping over alot of examples as i didn't have the patience to thinkin imperial units. Overall though an excellent book & well worth buying
Excellent Introductory Textbook - By: d.rodger@gcal.ac.uk, 15 Nov 2001 
An excellent introductory text to those embarking on an aeronautical related degree or indeed the keen enthuthiast. The book introduces key topics such as aerodynamics, performance, stability & aircraft design. Pitched at a level so as not to swamp the readerin technical detail, the text is excellent as a precursor to more detailed technical textbooks. The book proved invaluable during my own undergraduate careerin aeronautical engineering, from the first year right through to final year.
terrific book - By: , 08 Mar 1999 
I am an aerospace engineer, but also appreciate books which can explain the complexin clear & interesting language. If you want a good introduction into aerodynamics & the history of flight, this is it. Anderson will "trick" you into learning this complex subject because of his talent for explaining & teaching.
