CATALOGUE OF GOOD, PRACTICAL BOOKS APPLIED AERODYNAMICS. By G. P. THOMPSON. This is a scientific and mathematical treatise that has a special appeal to the student and engineer who are seeking exact information on the aerodynamics of heavier-than- air craft and data on airplane design testing. In addition to a very full discussion of the qualities which determine the speed and rate of climb of an aeroplane and the method by which they can be calculated, special attention is paid to stability —a problem now fairly well understood, and to controllability—our knowledge of which is at present in a much more elementary state. Attention is directed to the numerous directions in which further information is required, especially in the form of full-scale experiments. 312 pages (7 x 10). Illustrated with over 142 Diagrams and Graphic Charts. Price $5.00 GLOSSARY OF AVIATION TERMS —ENGLISH-FRENCH; FRENCH- ENGLISH. By MAJOR VICTOR W. PAGE, A.S., S.C.U.S.R., and LIEUT.
