Can someone with a 2nd or 3rd edition of "Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles" check the section on Wheels and Wheel Housings, please? I had an earlier copy from MIT, and it included a lot more detail than the 4th edition; which I now own.

The earlier edition had much more detail on lots of things, including isometric drawings of air flow around a rotating tire inside of a wheel well; maybe including a covered wheel well? If you have this, I would love to see a scan or photo of that section. TIA
