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.

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 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!

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.
