Having only recently been introduced to Darrol Stinton's books, I was saddened to read that he passed away last month, particularly as I had just discovered he had lived only a short walk from me.
Darrol was an ex-Blackburn apprentice, test pilot and vice president of the Historic Aircraft Association. His works included 'The Anatomy of the Airplane' and 'The Design of the Airplane' and are must reads for anyone interested in light aircraft conceptual design.
