This is a rather rare book about the aerodynamic and flight characteristics of tailless aircrafts, thought it seems to be one of the best kown.
I was initialy printed by the 90 and has been re-printed about september 2004. It was at that time available from the AIAA store but it then diseapeared quickly, (even from their database !) and wasn't available anymore 3 month later. My correspondance about it with the AIAA staff, initially friendly became more formal when i asked them more information about it. Strange ...
I found it at amazon (www.amazon.com) on september 2005 for 131.74 US $ plus 8.98 US $ for shipping to France (strangely from Germany ...) nearly 3 times the initial price !
I wonder wether Amazon bought all the available books in order to sell them sparcely for a really indecent price. Also, just after I ordered mine, the Amazon price increased by 4 $.
After ordering it on 4th September 2005, I received it on 12th November 2005.
Here is the Table of content, I hope it will help people in finding wether it could have some utility for them or not (and may be save money).
There is also a review from an owner at Amazon for getting an idea about it.
