Genghis, there's a copy of 'Stick' on my bookshelf. It's far and away better than anything I've read before on 'pilot's aerodynamics'. Why do you think I'd need to supplant it?

I've no idea if those you've recommended are as good (the only thing 'Stick' falls down on is it's dated presentation). Since 'Stick', and not those other books, continues to be recommended, and it 'does it for me', it's the one I will stand behind as a recommendation. I'm not in the book review business so won't be buying those others to see if they're as good; I don't need to as I know 'Stick' does it just fine.

If you think the others are as good, by all means recommend them. But please recognise as well just how good 'Stick' is for someone who wants to fly aeroplanes, not design them.
