4.0 out of 5 stars
Historical masterpiece
This book is a fluid-dynamics masterpiece. Maybe it's a little bit outdated now, but it's the book two or three generations of fuid scientists (30s-50s) used during their studies. Definitely a must-have for the serious theoretical fluid dynamicist, not the right book if you're looking for computational methods.

2.0 out of 5 stars
A university-level text with little on aviation.
The title is misleading, as there is very little useful info on aeromechanics. If you are into balloons using coal gas or hydrogen, buy this book. As a university-level reference work, the section on vortices is useful. For homebuilding aerodynamics, the book is of little use.

Ludwig Prandtl's lectures at Gottingen form the basis for this, the basic building block of classical aerodynamics. Expect to learn about the basic assumptions inherent to the use of linear theory to aerodynamic problems. Be prepared for the use of conformal mapping and functions of complex variables. Best read in combination with the companion volume on Applied Aero- and Hydro-mechanics.
