(K&W) Book "Aerodynamics of Propulsion"
  For those of you interested in Kuchemann and Weber book "Aerodynamics of
Propulsion" I have found a source. What you get is good
quality (very legible) xerox copy (two book pages per landscape oriented
print page). You can get a soft copy cover or Hardcopy cover.
The price is very reasonable I paid $44.95 for the hardcopy version (the
soft copy cover is around $25 as best I recall) plus cost of
registered mail from the Philippines (only way he will ship). The book is
over 50 years old and out of print, so I don't think there are any
legal problems such as copy rights - but perhaps someone knowledgeable of
such would care to comment.
There were a several pages printed upside down (of which I have informed the
seller), but while an bit irritating, at least I have a legible copy
at a reasonable cost.
  Here is the URL of his web page
http://www.usedbookcentral.com/cgi-bin/texis/scripts/ubc/dealerpage.html?sid=10401
just search for "Aerodynamics of Propulsion" and take it from there. The
softcopy cover version runs $24.00 plus cost of shipping.
The gentleman respond to my inquiry about a "bulk" buy as follows:
"I would be DELIGHTED to fill as many orders as you care to funnel my way.
In fact, if I get a multiple-copy order, all going to the same
address, I will apply a discount."

"So if anyone out there wants to contact Marc de Piolenc
<piolenc@dialup.msuiit.edu.ph> to work out a bulk buy for interested folks
be my
guest.

I'll kick in for a "group purchase of soft cover copies".
