[Allen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Considered the best low speed wind tunnel reference by my instructor, I found this textbook very instructive in a subject in which I had no previous experience. It affirmed several points I had previously learned on the nature of experimentation in general and provided new information on how to successfully conduct wind tunnel studies in academia or industry. This text is rich with content written by seasoned experimental aerodynamicists - a feast for the novice eager to learn from the masters.
