"Aerial Flight" Frederick W.Lanchester 1907

I found this online.
Lanchester 'invented' the streamline body and a myriad of other things aerodynamic.Here's a link to the book,you can read online (nod,nod,wink,wink!)
It's a hoot!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
