Dale Crane (1923–2010) was involved in aviation for more than 50 years. His credentials include Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic, Designated Mechanic Examiner, Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor (airplanes), and Advanced and Instrument Ground Instructor. He worked as an instrument overhaul mechanic, instrument shop manager, flight test instrumentation engineer, and eventually an instructor and director of an aviation maintenance school. Dale was active as a writer of aviation technical materials, and as a consultant in developing aviation training programs.
Keith Anderson is an Associate Professor in the Applied Aviation Science Department in the College of Aviation at LeTourneau University. His credentials include A&P certificate, Inspection Authorization (IA) rating, commercial pilot with Instrument Rating, and certified flight instructor. He has been employed as a mechanic and director of maintenance at several maintenance facilities, including shops operating under Part 135 and Part 121. Keith has also worked as a design engineer developing a new single-engine turboprop utility airplane, as vice president of engineering for a company that developed supplemental type certificates (STCs) for corporate aircraft, and served as the director of engineering for an aircraft simulation company.

There are a number of typographical nuances that immediately jumped out to me, most notably the fact that they couldn't be bothered to find an actual theta symbol and used Ø instead. Like, this thing is copyright 2022. It's not that hard. It's not Ø, it's θ. See? θθθθθ. Too easy. They had no problem finding the π symbol, but apparently θ was too much. Also, variables are italicized, units are not. And it's "Kelvin", not "degrees Kelvin". Those were things that immediately jumped out to me as a pedant.Going deeper, I really have to question the usefulness of some of these lookup tables in 2022. I could carry a pocket calculator much more easily than this book. Is anybody really going to pull out this book to look up a square root? Is anybody really going to pull out this book to look up the corresponding circumference to a given diameter (which is just a multiple of pi, after all)? It's 2022. You don't need to waste five pages on a Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion table when the formula is easily computable. Then, right after the formulas and before the lookup table, it says "For interpolation, 1°C = 1.8°F". Let's be real: if I'm here, I don't know what interpolation means. If I am doing interpolation, I'm going to need a calculator, or to be really good at multiplication and division. If I have a calculator, I don't need your lookup table, and if I'm good at my arithmetic, I also don't need your lookup table. Personally, I know what interpolation means, and I can do that conversion in my head. And also, anybody who understands what interpolation is can easily see from the formulas that 1 C° = 1.8 F° (which is how you write that properly, by the way). This is what I mean by clutter. It simply does not need to be here, it's just in the way.The same can be said for the trigonometry section. Why do I need a lookup table for what I can more easily do with a pocket calculator? It's 2022. Also, the way the table is written is rather bizarre to me. It only goes up to 45° on the left column, but the right column lists the complementary angle. If I need to have basic trigonometry explained to me, I'm not going to understand that the sinθ = cos(90°-θ). The table lists sin, cos, tan and cot. What would be more useful is to just run the table to 90° and have sin, tan, and sec. I can do subtraction in my head, but computing reciprocals is much more difficult (and again, if I already have a calculator to do that, I don't need the lookup table).There's still a lot of good information, but the authors would do well to consider some brevity. You need to be smart about what you include, or your handbook will become too bloated to be a "hand"-book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good read
The pages turn well…spiral bound. Organized well.
5.0 out of 5 stars If you are an A&P you need this book
Current training to get my a&p and this book has everything. Electrical, welding, bending formula, engines, everything. Incredibly useful and best of all you can use it on your practical to help with the license
Get this if you're going to pursue anything related to aviation.
Check your college / university bookstore before buying it here, though. I could have saved close to ten dollars.
Good handbook
This is a good general handbook to have around especially for new apprentices or starting school.
Useful.
Handy for aviation students and those who work in aviation.
