Reader's Comments
1] Well written book for the aviation major or graduate degree. A good read that includes both technical data for the engineer and plenty of information for the layman.-C. Pedersen
2] The book has its advantages, one being it defines investigation areas well. The text could use a little more punch to it, yet overall it provides some good information.-N. Darnell
