Theory of Flight

by Richard von Mises, Kurt H. Hohenemser (Introduction)

Perhaps the most balanced, well-written account of fundamental fluid dynamics ever published. Mises' classic avoids the formidable mathematical structure of fluid dynamics, while conveying — by often unorthodox methods — a full understanding of the physical phenomena and mathematical concepts of aeronautical engineering. "An outstanding textbook." — Scientific, Medical and Technical Books.

I picked up this book for my Aerodynamics course and I love it. Concepts are explained fully and are presented such that they are easy to understand. Plus it's a Dover book, all of which I'm pretty much in love with.
