The simple science of flight – H. Tennekes Hoge Kwaliteit

Tennekes (earth sciences, Free U. of Amsterdam) explains to lay readers the aerodynamic principles that underlie the flight of everything, including paper airplanes, kites, gliders, and human-powered aircraft. He also explains such concepts as lift, drag, wing loading, and cruising speed; and the impact of fuel efficiency, headwind, tailwind, and other factors.
