Quality reprint of the classic Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators. Reprinted by Elite Aviation Solutions.
Yes there is a lot of details that a pilot will not need in his professional career but I would still recommend reading it. There will be some points that will be useful in a pilots career. All pilots trying to fly airplanes for a career should have this book in their library.
Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators is a must read for all pilots. Written by Hugh Harrison Jr. in 1959, revised in 1965, this text book has long been used by the Navy, Air Force and the FAA for pilot education.
Even though this is an older text, the information still applies to the safe operation of aircraft today. Whether you are a new pilot or an experienced pilot, this book will provide valuable information for safe aircraft operation.
This manual will provide the pilot with the information necessary to develop an understanding of aerodynamics and aircraft performance. The safety of flying operations will depend greatly on the pilots understanding of how and why an airplane flies.
