Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamics (AVIATION)

Usually books on this subject are written for graduate-level comprehension, full of formulae and bursting with technical expressions (but without any explanations). This one is different.OK you may have to read some sections a few times and refer to the related simple diagrams, but, it is understandable by someone with less than an 'O' level in physics.But, do not think that it will not be of value to the more qualified out there, the author corrects many long held misconceptions about some aerodynamic principles and explores these misconceptions in an entertaining style..If I can level any crtiicism it is that a few of the diagrams referred to in the text, as part of an explanation, are not on adjacent pages to the related text, but, that is it.

Having no engineering background, just an aviation passion and having read a few books about aviation, i bought this book to learn the basics of aerodynamics. I choose this book since i thought that illustrations would really help me understand and this is mostly true. The book is really easy to read and understand and pictures and figures help a lot. Starting for the basics, theories and laws and covering a variety of subjects to even more practical issues. Recommended read
