'In my view the book fills a need and should be compulsory reading for all aerodynamicists (since every aerodynamicist should have a basic understanding of CFD). It is particularly rewarding to see that the Swedish aircraft industry is being given much space among the many well chosen examples.' Kenneth Nilsson
