Book: Hoerner

Here is a book that was as significant in 1951 as Hucho's are today:
AERODYNAMIC DRAG
Practical Data On Aerodynamic Drag
Evaluated and Presented by
SIGHARD F. HOERNER
Dr.-Ing.habil.
1951
Copyright 1951 by SIGHARD F. HOERNER
PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHOR
Printed by THE OTTERBEIN PRESS
Dayton,Ohio,U.S.A.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoerner was part of Operation Paper Clip,brought over to the U.S.A. at the conclusion of hostilities in Europe at the close of World War II.
Hoerner worked on Messerschmitt aircraft design for the Luftwaffe.
Comprehensive data are presented for aircraft/airships/bombs/torpedos/nacelles/pylons/struts-sections/fuselage/wingtips/wings/stabilizers/canopies/landing gear/fairings/blisters/seams/etc., and he has a section on Automobiles and Railroad trains.
Hoerner personaly did a full-body conversion and wind tunnel study of an aero-modded DKW roadster.
The book is a goldmine.
