Santa 🎅🏻 brought some nice books this evening! 🎄😎 Just flipping through the pages was pure joy. Can‘t wait to read them!

This was apparently the heaviest aircraft built during WWII, surpassing the B-29.

Maybe not the craziest thing but at least it was the first flight of the Blohm & Voss BV 238 Flying Boat.

Something exotic:German V/STOL development during the Cold War.This AIAA publication covers aircraft like the VAK-191 or the VJ 101 and the Dornier Do-31. All projects were ultimately doomed but had certainly contributed to post-war German aviation R&T capability.

This book covers the handling qualities of large commercial airliners. It is old but well written. It succeeds to explain the behavior of the aircraft without relying on complicated equations of motion. Everything is explained as such that an interested layman can understand it.

Show me an unusual photo of yourself and an aircraft.

A very cool monography of a forgotten interceptor: The AVRO Arrow. This softcover book seems to be the reference book on this aircraft.It contains not only the history of its development and fate but also a lot of drawings.Sadly no aircraft survived after the project was stopped.

This book tells the story of the company transformation and cultural change of the old Boeing to the new Boeing. Retrospectively you will find all the ingredients for the failures to come. The book also presents a lot of surveys done among employees. Some statistics are quite interesting.

I had the pleasure to meet Eric Brown 2008 in Hamburg where he gave a lecture on his flight testing career.

#AviationBookClub „When people say I changed the culture of Boeing,that was the intent,so it‘s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm“ (Harry Stonecipher).Who liked „Flying Blind“ from Robinson will like this book from 2010 where the reason for the state of the company is explained

This book is a kind of bible for aerodynamicists. I used it a lot during my studies. A good handbook for some preliminary design studies. Half of the book consists of a huge appendix giving all necessary data for NACA profiles.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the business of flight testing. Flight Test Engineers write in very short reports about notable events and observations while testing some of the most iconic 🇺🇸 aircraft. In total there are around 100 stories.

This book uncovers a secret 🇺🇸 program to source, maintain and fly Soviet combat aircraft in a secret adversary squadron. It is a must have for every Cold War aviation fan! MiGs 17, 21 & 23 were flown until 1988 when the unit was finally disbanded.

This book is about the development of the F-4 Phantom, one of my all time favorite combat aircraft. It encompasses the development, systems engineering, the F-4 as a weapon system, acceptance, conf. control & operations. 22 Pages of notes are also included. Highly recommend!

Last aircraft picture I shot myself. A Spitfire in a hangar in Carpiquet Airport nearby Caen(🇫🇷). It’s a museum D-Day themed, but severely overpriced and without a real educational focus. Not recommended.

I got this one. It is a softcover and covers only the YC-14 but nevertheless quite educational.

Many years ago I bought this book. It was first published 1990 and has intriguing chapters about Aircraft Design. Very intriguing was the story about the „Davis“ Wing of the Consolidated B-24 Liberator. There is also a chapter on the establishment of design requirements.

I own this book more than 20 years now. It didn’t particularly influenced me as an aeronautical engineer but it accompanied me nevertheless during my career and I like how Dan Raymer writes.

Egal was für ein Kontext. Egal ob man seinen Stand irgendwo für alle besuchbar im Bundestag aufgebaut hat. MAN LÄSST SICH NICHT MIT GESICHERT RECHTSEXTREMISTISCHEN POLITIKERN ABLICHTEN, DIE AKTIV DIE FDGO BEKÄMPFEN! 🤮🤮🤮
