The definitive work in pilot-oriented applied aerodynamics
Here's my very simple take on this book: if you operate (fly) airplanes of any kind, you need to have this book in your easy-to-get-to library. Period. My only negative comment is that the current "FAA reprint version" (How did they get involved? This is not a ...

The Cold War and American Science: The Military-Industrial-Academic Complex at MIT and Stanford
