> 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
