Aerodynamics of Wings and Bodies (Dover Books on Aeronautical Engineering) by Holt Ashley
Cited hundreds of times and in print since 1965, this book provides a wealth of useful information and a solid background in the fundamentals of aerodynamics. Fluid mechanics, constant density inviscid flow, singular perturbation problems, viscosity, thin-wing and slender body theories, drag minimalization, and other essentials are addressed in a lively, literate manner and accompanied by diagrams.
