First published 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 need for complex mathematical formulae. This fifth edition is no exception and includes a new section by Bill Gunston, bringing the book uptodate with new developments in aeronautics, whilst retaining all of A C Kermode`s original work and accessible style.Illustrated with diagrams and photographs throughout, this book does not claim to teach the reader how to fly, but will continue fo be a clear and vivid account of how and why an aeroplane flies. As such it will be a valuable introduction for all trainee pilots, aeronautical engineers and the interested aircraft enthusiast.Reviews of previous editions:"An intelligently compiled and highly readable book on the principles of flying, without detailed mathematics." Aeronautics"One of the simplest introductions to the principles of flight."Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
