I haven't read the whole of "Ace the technical pilot interview", but I noticed that some things have been picked from other sources. Particularly, material on high speed flight (such as Mach tuck and Mach trimmers) looks almost taken out word for word from "Handling the big jets" (D.P. Davies). I'd probably rely on the latter for aerodynamics/jet engines/performance, especially in the context of jet a/c flying, and there are good comparisons between straight wing (piston) and swept wing (jet) a/c. If you haven't got it yet, I'd give the book a thought. Just an idea.
