“At its best Miss Wilson’s verse has a tight-lipped irony about it; or it may even develop into humor that is broad but never blatant. At its worst her poetry is quite a different matter; without ever being badly written, it is pompously and conventionally emotional.”

“The introduction to the book includes the ideas underlying simple flight and the aerodynamics of aerofoils. In the chapter on ‘Motion in two dimensions’ are collected with proofs the fundamental theorems in dynamics. The principles are carried step by step to the consideration of stability, and are then illustrated by example. The study of motion in three dimensions is committed to a following chapter. The last chapter in the section devoted to rigid dynamics applies the equations developed to the stability of the aeroplane. The rest of the book is devoted to ‘Fluid mechanics.’”—Nature
“It is very clearly written, and will be particularly valuable to advanced students of the subject for many reasons. On the other hand, it will not appeal strongly to the less advanced worker.”
