Page 173: Convert fuel weights to volume, and vice versa.
1 liter = 3.7853 U.S gallons 
1 liter = 4.5459 imperial gallons
Surely that can't be right!
Maybe the other way around might work.

Chapter 5 is a must read: relationship between Mach Number, TAS and LSS in the troposphere.
They just asked me that on my second interview.
Derated takeoffs (Assumed Temperature Method) seems to be a popular subject too.
The author made a few mistakes in some areas, but overall it is a great book. Easy to read.

Bristow's book suffers from some of the same bad writing skills many technical books suffer from.
Then on top of the fact that they can't string a sensible sentence together they don't even bother to proofread it either. Shocking. They should get real artists like E K Gann or even Davies to proofread and correct their crappy use of language. ( Both this world departed unfortunately) My Korean TV manual uses better language!!
Apart fom that however the idea of the book is great - and there is alot of usefull info in it. Maybe all the mistakes were put in on purpose to keep us on our toes!!
