Your favorite book (genre: STEM )?

[Maximilian Hohmann]

Hello!

I can't decide on a single favorite Book, but those two here are high on the list:


This is about the development and test flying of the Concorde - but it may be available in French only


And this is about the development and working principle of the Apollo Guidance Computer

Both are somewhat computer related. Concorde had very sophisticated early computer technology on board, especially for controlling the "ramps" that generated controlled shock waves inside the engine intakes that reduced the supersonic flow to subsonic in order not to stall the engines. And the Apollo Guidance Computer is so to say the mother of all small computers.
