RE: Stabalizers and elevators
I suppose my copy is a first edition. The data and discussion of airfoils and drag is quite good, but for stability and control one had to go to a regular aerodynamics textbook, in the 70s and 80s.
My copy of the Laumer book is also a first addition. It has more useful and accurate information on stability and control than the Simons book does, but Keith did not try to explain the theory behind it.
