About the book

Although aviation developed enormously in the decades before 1930, the physics of the aerofoil - how the wing of an aeroplane works - remained a matter of dispute. This book reviews the competing theories and explains why British scientists stuck to their hypothesis long after its failings had begun to be obvious.
