It's mostly about fluid dynamics, so if you already studied some physics of gas and liquids you should have no problem with this book. Thank you for commenting!

Your mention of "bird flight explained the different geometries that evolved in various species" piques my interest. The book sounds educational and interesting. Thanks for writing a great review, as always!

I have honestly never even thought about the history of flight and aeroplanes or how they work. However, I have a severe disinterest in physics. I find it interesting but my brain can never comprehend how it works. Nonetheless, this is a great review and you mentioned some important points.

I guess this book isn't suitable for your taste. Still, thank you for your appreciation!

Seems like an interesting book, but too bad there are many errors in it. I love your review!

Most errors were not distracting; still, I hope the author does a bit of "cleaning". Thank you for your appreciation!

A book that is both interesting and informative, I am sure! Not my cup of tea, but I appreciated your well written review.

I might not be much of a techie but you make this book sound like the holy grail of flight, pardon the reference. A very apt review to a technical book.

Probably, there are textbooks that go far deeper, with formulae and detailed illustrations. Let's just say that this one offers a comprehensive view of the science behind flight without too many technical and mathematical details. Thank you for your appreciation!

"However, the topics are explained in-depth with the help of a lot of illustrations". I like this phrase because I find it difficult to understand some sci-fi book. But, honestly, your reviews always have a way of getting me invested in the book that I'd want to give it a try. Thanks do a job well-done.
