“At many places Mr. Gunston goes quite far beyond the limits of a typical dictionary by giving in-depth explanations of physical processes (such as Bernoulli’s theorem), devices and their operating principles (propeller pitch), or even of concepts related to management and business (request for proposals). This increases the book’s value and applications, particularly if used in academic and educational institutions.

The Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary is clearly written and well edited…The given definitions have been kept short enough for easy reading yet comprehensive enough to allow understanding without further tedious research. Mr. Gunston’s long professional and practical aerospace experience has enabled him to cleverly adjust the depth of treatment according to the anticipated difficulties in understanding.

I was really satisfied. This dictionary looks very suitable for engineering offices, project teams, and also for advanced classrooms…” IEEE AES Magazine

“The book is an excellent reference guide for writers uncertain as to how a word is written…All in all; it is an excellent book to have on the shelf rights besides Roget’s International Thesaurus and the latest version of Webster.” Rotor and Wing

“…a welcome appearance.” Aviation News

“This nice, well-done dictionary would be at home in any large academic or public library.” — American Reference Book Annual
