Flight Without Formulae Résumé

Flight Without Formulae A.C. Kermode

This fifth edition, updated by Bill Gunston, is an account of the basic principles of flight, explained as simply as possible and excluding all mathematical formulae. It contains a new section which sets out recent aeronautical developments and is intended to be of use as an introductory text for trainee pilots and students as well as for the general reader.
