Summary:
"Still relevant 62 years after its initial publication, this legendary reference text on aircraft stress analysis is considered the best book on the subject. A knowledge of aerodynamics is a prerequisite for its discussions of basic structural theory and the application of the elementary principles of mechanics to the analysis of aircraft structures. 1950 edition"--
"This Dover edition, first published in 2011, is an unabridged republication of the work originally published in 1950 by the McGraw-Hill Book Co. Inc., New York"--Title page verso
