Wraps. 160 p. Illustrations. Register of Persons. Introduced by Constantine FitzGibbon. From Wikipedia: "Robert Louis Constantine Lee-Dillon Fitzgibbon (Massachusetts 8 June 1919-Dublin 25 March 1983) was a historian and novelist. Constantine Fitzgibbon was born in the United States in 1919. His father, Commander Francis Lee-Dillon FitzGibbon, RN, was Irish, his mother, Georgette Folsom, from Lenox, Mass, USA. His parents divorced when he was very young. He was raised and educated in France before moving to England. After leaving the college, Fitzgibbon became a Marxist sympathiser. Between 1958 and 1960 he resided at Sacombs Ash in Hertfordshire with the famous cookery writer Theodora Fitzgibbon. His good friend Michael Wharton wrote of their turbulent marriage in his books 'The Missing Will' and 'A Dubious Codicil'. While translating the "Tear in the Ocean" trilogy by Manès Sperber, Fitzgibbon abandoned Communism and became a political conservative. He married his wife Marjorie (nee Steele) in 1967. He had one daughter, named Oonagh, born 6 February 1968 for whom he wrote the book Teddy in the Tree in 1977. By a previous marriage to Marion (nee Gutmann) he had a son, Francis, born 1961. He was half-brother of Louis Fitzgibbon, author of Katyn. The family resided in Killiney in south County Dublin. As a teenager, Fitzgibbon was educated at Wellington College, Berkshire which he detested. He also studied at the University of Munich and University of Paris. Fitzgibbon attended Exeter College, Oxford with a modern languages scholarship but left without a degree just before the outbreak of World War II in 1939. Fitzgibbon served in the British Army, in the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, from 1939 to 1942, before transferring to the United States Army as a staff officer in military intelligence from 1942-46. He worked as a schoolmaster for a short time in Bermuda from 1946 47, at Saltus Grammar School, then as an independent writer. It was here he wrote his first two novels. He lived in Italy and spent many years in England before moving to Ireland in 1965. Fitzgibbon wrote a number of books, including nine novels. One of the recurring subjects in his work was Nazi Germany. Politically, Fitzgibbon identified himself as a strong anti-Communist. Fitzgibbon's novel When the Kissing Had to Stop (1963) caused some controversy because of its "anti-CND theme"; the book depicted the Soviet domination of Britain after the country removed its nuclear weapons. An ITV adaptation of When the Kissing Had to Stop caused even more controversy, and one writer called Fitzgibbon a "fascist Hyena". Fitzgibbon responded by writing a series of essays called Random Thoughts of a Fascist Hyena. FitzGibbon said he was offered, but refused, a job with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) when it was created following World War II. His play, The Devil at Work was produced by the Abbey Theatre in 1971; it was poorly received. FitzGibbon was a member of the Council of the Irish Academy of Letters and an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a Guggenheim Fellow. He later became an Irish citizen and lived in County Dublin. Philip Toynbee described Fitzgibbon's politics as "free-booting Poujadism" but praised him as "a great admirer of style in life" and his writing as showing "occasionally gusts of common sense"."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The new edition of this popular textbook provides a modern, accessible introduction to the whole process of aircraft design from requirements to conceptual design, manufacture and in-service issues. Highly illustrated descriptions of the full spectrum of aircraft types, their aerodynamics, structures and systems, allow students to appreciate good and poor design and understand how to improve their own designs. Cost data is considerably updated, many new images have been added and new sections are included on the emerging fields of Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles and environmentally-friendly airlines. Examples from real aircraft projects are presented throughout, demonstrating to students the applications of the theory. Three appendices and a bibliography provide a wealth of information, much not published elsewhere, including simple aerodynamic formulae, an introduction to airworthiness and environmental requirements, aircraft, engine and equipment data, and a case study of the conceptual design of a large airliner.
