FLIGHT WITHOUT FORMULAE aircraft aerodynamics text book

Book is in near fine condition with clean pages, no inscriptions, tight square binding and no other significant damage. Slight crease at hinge point of front cover indicating book has been opened.

From the rear cover - "First publisihed over 50 years ago, the aim of this classic book has always been to explain the principles of flight in a simple yet informative way, without the need for complex mathematical formulae. This 5th edition is no exception and includes a new section by Bill Gunston, bringing the book up to date with new developments in aeronautics, whilst retaining all of A C Kermode's original work and accessible style.

Illustrated with diagrams and photographs thoughout, this book does not claim to teach the reader how to fly, but will continue to be a clear and vivid account of how and why an aeroplane flies. As such it will be a valuable introduction for all trainee pilos, earonautical engineers and the interested aircraft enthusiast."

As a private pilot, I found this book easy to read without feeling like I was missing out on anything. Everything is explained from practical viewpoints rather than formulas, great reference.
