Re: Ww2 fighter performance: Volume 1: Design, aerodynamics and flight performance for the spitfire mk i & the bf 109 e, battle of britain era
wel, finished it few days ago.
Very interesting book, talking about the performance and handling of the Spit and 109 in the BoB period. It's a technical book, not an historical one, it gives another approach to the history and how it has been told for 80years. It also brakes and confirms certain myths about those 2 airplane based on modern aerodynamics calculations. Each chapter is fitting into the next one, everything is perfeclty assembled.
The added bonus: it's vulgarising the aerodynamics' calculations allowing the reader to clearly understand what the writer is talking about, the book also serves as "aerodynamics for dummies".
