Editorial Reviews: About the Author John D. Anderson, Jr., was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on October 1, 1937. He attended the University of Florida, graduating in 1959 with high honors and a Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering Degree. From 1959 to 1962, he was a Lieutenant and Task Scientist at the Aerospace Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. From 1962 to 1966, he attended the Ohio State University under the National Science Foundation and NASA Fellowships, graduating with a PhD in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. In 1966, he joined the U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory as Chief of the Hypersonics Group. In 1973, he became Chairman of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland, and since 1980 has been Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland. In 1982, he was designated a Distinguished Scholar/Teacher by the University. During 1986–1987, while on sabbatical from the University, Dr. Anderson occupied the Charles Lindbergh Chair at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. He continued with the Air and Space Museum one day each week as their Special Assistant for Aerodynamics, doing research and writing on the History of Aerodynamics. In addition to his position as Professor of Aerospace Engineering, in 1993, he was made a full faculty member of the Committee for the History and Philosophy of Science and in 1996 an affiliate member of the History Department at the University of Maryland. In 1996, he became the Glenn L. Martin Distinguished Professor for Education in Aerospace Engineering. In 1999, he retired from the University of Maryland and was appointed Professor Emeritus. He is currently the Curator for Aerodynamics at the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Used it for my intro to aerospace engineering class. Personally, I found it unnecessarily verbose at time and it can be really hard to find the equations you need to solve some of the problems. I typically hate writing in books, but I actually added the equations that weren’t there to the summary pages just for easy reference. It’s definitely complete and I never had to use outside resources to understand anything, but at times I felt like I was doing a close reading for an English class to get all the details out of it. I’m a weirdo, and would almost rather reading a dry, bare bones book on the concepts. This book tries to sound pretty and it made it somewhat confusing to me

⭐Course I took a long time ago. I guess 5 stars.

⭐I chose this 5 star rating because I bought this book for my boyfriend, he recently bought his at the school bookstore for $275! Wow! that was a lot so I immediately took to Amazon to search for a cheaper book. This was the one I found same edition as the one he got, and it was more than $100 cheaper i was totally sold. I used expedited shipping and it got here in less than 4 days- very speedy delivery. I was very happy with the results- it was pretty much a brand new book I wasn’t expecting that so it was a nice surprise!

⭐Ordered this book for school and it is amazing to get the hardcover version for such a cheap price compared to the other more costly options out there. Definitely recommend this buy, it’s a steal!

⭐Anderson is likely the most widely-read author of aerospace engineering textbooks. He does a good job explaining every concept and the book is never hard to follow.

⭐Some of the equations are buried inside the chapters which made this book really hard to use! Other equations given in class I couldn’t even find in the book.

⭐If you are interested in aerospace and/or studying it in college this book is a must have. Anderson is thorough, anecdotal, and most importantly covers topics in a logical sequence.

⭐This book is so well written a fourth grader can read it. I love all the aviation history anecdotes and ease of reading.

⭐Item in very good condition. Essential reading for any student of Aeronautical Engineering

⭐Pretty detailed “introduction” I must say! It will serve the needs of children who are interested in flight, to aerospace engineering students at uni!

⭐Great book with everything about flying and the underlying physics, however the quality of the paper in the paperback book I got is rather cheap, and does not look like the book you are going to keep and use for a long time

⭐John Anderson makes Aerospace engineering seem as easy as breathing ! Excellent explanations and an very very wide coverage of all subjects. !!!

⭐Bel libro di cultura aeronautica. Tratta degli aspetti ed i principi generali del mondo aerospaziale quali ad esempio l’aerodinamica e la propulsione. Linguaggio semplice se si ha familiarità coi termini tecnici specifici.

⭐
