I would also like to read an explain of why the book seems to ascribe the discovery of mountain waves to R.S.Scorer Imperial College London and Cambridge University and fails to mention that the late Dr. Joachim Kuettner (A Soaring Society of Boulder member.) discovered them in the 1930's in Germany..
Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Kuettner

R.S Scorer's paper "Natural Aerodynamics" was published in 1958 after the conclusion of the Sierra Wave Project in the US led by Dr. Kuettner.
