	"Many times that you could see a condensing flow, it was difficult to get quality pictures; the few pictures that existed for our engineering peers usually were hanging in frames on the wall." Sometimes, you have to leave the wind tunnel or the computer lab and fly before certain phenomena show up. Pretty pictures of an SR-71 belching fire, shock waves on an F-14 and more.

Sadly, the book was a special NASA publication and is out of print, but a 180 MB full color scan is available online for free. The psychedelically-inclined may want to check out Van Dyke's An Album of Fluid Motion instead.
