Back at the beginning of November, D. Levy posted a reference
to the books on lift and drag by Hoerner, and commented that
they were apparently no longer available. [Historical note:
the author published these books privately and sold them
by direct mail order. After he died, his widow continued
selling the books.] Mail sent to her last known address
in Brick Town, New Jersey was being returned by the post office.
Well, with some help from D. Levy and Henry V. Borst (Hoerner's
co-author on one of the books), I have managed to find the
new address for ordering these books.
It is:
Hoerner Fluid Dynamics
P. O. Box 65283
Vancouver, WA 98665
Phone: 206-576-3997
The prices are $55.00 for "Fluid-Dynamic Drag"
$54.00 for "Fluid-Dynamic Lift"
$4.75 handling and postage for the two books
I mailed my order on November 20 and got them yesterday (December 14).
I would like to say that I have absolutely no connection, financial
or otherwise, with the sale of these books (other than being a
satisfied customer, of course).
I am posting this information as a service to the community.
If you're not familiar with them, Hoerner's books are
fantastic compilations of information about the lift
and drag coefficients of just about anything you can think
of. I had feared that they might not be available any more,
and that I had put off buying my own copies too long.
Fortunately, that is not the case and the books are still available.
