author: Franklin D. Harris

comment: very comprehensive text covering autogyro history as well as the mathematical basics of gyro performance calculation. Highly recommended.

A special added attraction: There will be a book-signing event where engineer-extraordinaire and rotorcraft-community icon Frank Harris will be available to inscribe your personal copy of his newly-issued NASA-published, 581-page tome: “Introduction to Autogyros, Helicopters, and Other V/STOL Aircraft; Volume I: Overview and Autogyros”.

Forget the book, take your tablet and a felt pen.
