* A reader has also commented on this book as follows:—

“ You might be interested in a mistake which I found on page 70, Fig. 4:10, which shows the shock wave from a supersonic wing intersecting and cancelling out, I believe I am right in saying that Lighthill has shown that both the shock waves will set themselves parallel between another at the Mach angle and do not cut out by the simple procedure outlined in Pope's book.

“ I also noticed on page 110, Fig. 6:6 that the dryer and compressor would normally be interchanged in this arrangement of wind tunnel, as it would result in much better economy of first cost, and of operation.”
