The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between the field of aeronautical engineering and airplane design and the other professional fields of engineering, architecture, and general design. The material originated in a course conducted by the University of California as part of its Engineering, Science, and Management Defense training program. The program was designed to train engineers and draftsmen from every day civilian industries to fit into the aircraft industry during national emergency. The work of this course was so successful, that an immediate demand arose for a reference book based on it.
