Nathless I must inquire if Aerodynamics is better, supercedes, improves upon, or was just there first, or what? If better than Stick and Rudder, how do you know if you didn't read it?
'Aerodynamics' was required reading for a rather Prussian style government sponsored flying course I took years ago at Saufley Field. My Drill Instructor whispered gentle words of encouragement to help me study.

'Stick and Rudder' is undoubtedly a great book but I've usually been too busy flying for a living to read much about how to do it. The Brits always love 'Handling the Big Jets' by Davies. All of these texts are decades old but the basics don't change much.
