Interesting , however it seems its too much of physics which doesnt fall in my interest .thanks for the review

That is indeed one reason why someone might not feel like reading this book. Thank you for commenting!

I have a background in fluid dynamics (air, water, etc) and it is amazing how many different perspectives there are in regards to the theory of flight, still to this day, not to mention turbulence, which is still an unsolved mystery. I would prefer something more technical and I am not sure that this is it yet, I also looked in the index. Nice review!

Thank you for this wonderful review. I think I am going to like this book. I like to fly myself. This book seems to have so much knowledge on flights.

Very interesting review of a book I wouldn't have been able to understand. The way you wrote about it made me see how someone might get a perfect score for their review!

This book doesn't go too much in depth concerning turbulence, as it's not a college or an engineering textbook. If you're interested in something really technical, probably this is not enough for you. Thank you for your appreciation!

You could say that this is a compendium of flight, so there is indeed much knowledge about it. Thank you for your appreciation!

This was a tough review because of the complex subject, so the perfect score was particularly satisfying. Thank you for your appreciation!

Your review of "Flight" by Francis M. Burrows effectively outlines the depth and thoroughness with which the author explains the science behind flight and the technologies involved. Your insights into the book's coverage of scientific principles, historical context, and its educational value are clear and informative, providing a good understanding of what the book offers to readers interested in the subject.

This reminded me how flight is not just a human achievement but something nature has long mastered. Burrows’ approach gave me a whole new appreciation for both engineering and evolution. Thanks for the insightful review.
