Can anyone recommend a good book on aircraft performance. I want to refresh and understand better stuff like balanced field theory, v speeds and drag curves etc.
Thanks

Airbus have produced this document

"Getting to grips with aircraft performance"

http://www.skybrary.aero/bookshelf/books/2263.pdf

I have found it to be very useful.

PJ Swatton 'Aircraft Performance Theory for Pilots' should tell you everything you wish to know, and has useful exercises throughout to check your understanding.
