Abstract
THIS book forms an excellent introduction to the problems connected with the structural design of aircraft. The presentation starts from first principles, which are fully explained, and proceeds in easy steps to numerous practical applications, many of which are carried through to the numerical solution. A number of diagrams and tables should prove also of value for those engaged in actual design work. The authors, whose great practical and teaching experience makes itself felt throughout the book, have succeeded in bringing home the fundamentals, and the book can be unreservedly recommended.
