I enjoyed this bio post by the site maintainer because it's demonstrative how a person with seemingly few resources can take a meandering path to significant accomplishment and status (PhD). Larrin's education arc mirrors much of

A true classic; I read (and re-read) the dead-trees version (a library copy, even!) many moons ago. A similar and more modern take on these same fundamentals of flight dynamics titled "See How It Flies" is freely online at https:
