Aircraft Structures

This is a reprint of a 1952 Navy Training Course prepared by the Naval Air Technical Training Command. It is profusely illustrated with technical diagrams of aircraft of the period. This book develops the principles of aerodynamics to the stage where an understanding of specific structural components of operating aircraft is assured. From that point on, the text affords the reader a clear and concise basis for comparison of the various structural designs and details of all types of Naval aircraft.
