Take a look inside the Kindle e-book using the "look inside" feature on the linked webpage.
The book is dedicated "To the memory of THE FUHRER". Care to explain, Richard? |

Care to explain, Richard? -- jherzog 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..

Kuettner's in Chapter 2 as discoverer of mountain waves, along with Hirth,
Deutschmann, Steinig. Scorer was the first to explain (rather than discover) the waves, with the Scorer parameter. The dedication is a pretence, as an excuse for digging up the unwelcome Nazi stuff in Chapter 2.
