Great book! It covered everything that I was interested in with a lot more clarity than the other technical books I have. I consider the first round an overview, and I'm going to read it again, this time with my highlighter and take good notes.

I was really happy to find a meaningful description and implementation of Schrenk's Approximation of wing loads. It makes sense to me now.

After this, with luck, I can make more out of Bruhn, Peery, and Abbott. I'd love to get more of my design down on paper once I get some more understanding of the physics behind it and what to design for.
