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.

I would also like to read an explain of why the book seems to ascribe the
d=
iscovery of mountain waves to R.S.Scorer Imperial College London and
Cambri=
dge University and fails to mention that the late Dr. Joachim Kuettner (A
S=
oaring Society of Boulder member.) discovered them in the 1930's in
Germany=
.. =20
Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Kuettner

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