The Flight Test Book Review Thread
This is the thread for us to post book reviews. For anything like this, we need a few ground rules, so here they are:
(1) Books must have some relation to flight testing. However, this could be textbooks, biographies, histories, technical manuals, even appropriate works of fiction.
(2) There is no maximum length limit, but anything very short is probably unhelpful - say something meaningful.
(3) Duplicate reviews are fine, if you feel that you have something new to say.
(4) If you are the author, you must say so. If this would compromise your PPrune anonymity - create another identity to post the review.
(5) Please start each review with the title, author(s), and (if there is one) ISBN number. If you can, please also include the price and link to somewhere it can be purchased, if it's still in print, or downloaded if it's available online.
(6) If you are going to criticise books (or praise them), back it up with clear reasons, but strong criticism is no reason not to post. Reviews will however be moderated on grounds of over-shortness, illiteracy, irrelevance to flight testing or personal abuse. Those are the only reasons I hope that there should be any need to moderate.
(7) Please don't post discussion about reviews in this thread. Either post an alternative review, or create a new thread for discussion about a particular book.
Needless to say, this post will remain a sticky at the top of the page - please everybody make good use of it.
