Bramwell, ARS A R S
Helicopter Dynamics
New York: Published in the USA by Halsted Press A Division of John Wiley & Sons Inc 1976. First US Edition. Fine/near fine. Royal 8vo. pp. viii 408 frontispiece black cloth w/spine lettered in silver. -- Minor wear to the extremities of the dj. -- Condition. "After an introductory chapter on some essential. mathematics and mechanics the basic equations of the flapping motion of the blade and of rotor aerodynamics are developed. These are then applied to the fundamental problems of calculating blade flapping motion rotor forces performance and stability and control. Later chapters deal with the more complicated aerodynamics of forward flight blade flexibility and aeroelastic coupling. Although it is acknowledged that the solutions of some of the more complicated helicopter problems can be obtained only by means of computers many important results can be obtained analytically without difficult mathematics permitting a fairly simple treatment and leading to 'working formulae'. These formulae make it easier to interpret the dynamic and aerodynamic phenomena physically and the importance of this is kept to the fore throughout the book".-dj.

Reach for the Sky. The Story of Douglas Bader. [Sixth Impression]. SIGNED BY BADER: IN FULL MOROCCO
8vo., Sixth Impression, with frontispiece and 24 plates on 12; handsomely bound in burgundy full crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and fourth compartments lettered in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with a propeller motif, hand-made endpapers, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. SIGNED BY BADER ON DEDICATION. Published five months after the first impression. Written by Paul Brickhill (already celebrated as the author of another RAF classic 'The Dam Busters', 1951), 'Reach for the Sky' remains the best account of the legless Battle of Britain hero. It was the basis of Lewis Gilbert's hugely successful feature film (1954) starring Kenneth More in what was arguably his finest role. One of the legendary figures of the Royal Air Force, Douglas Bader was from the outset an outstanding athlete. As a cadet at Cranwell he gained his 'blues' for cricket, rugby, hockey and boxing. He represented the RAF at both cricket and rugby and would probably have been capped for England but for the accident that changed his life and created a legend. In 1931 a near-fatal air crash left him legless. Knowing that no man with such a handicap had ever walked without a stick he nevertheless found his way back to fitness playing tennis, golf and many others sports. He even flew again, until the authorities determined that a pilot without legs could not fly and discharged him from the service. With the outbreak of War he fought to be readmitted, not merely to a desk job, but back to the cockpit. Finally he was given command of a flight which quickly increased to five squadrons as the RAF realised that he was not only an outstanding pilot but an inspired leader of men and a fighter tactician almost of genius. Even as a POW his spirit was such that his captors were forced at one stage to remove his artificial limbs to prevent the chance of his escaping. Enser, p.375 (recording the first edition)
