Default Books on design of small aircraft

These pages regularly mention books on aircraft design by one Tony
Bingelis. Has anyone the exact references for these, preferably ISBN
numbers?
Apart from the use of imperial/US measures, would these be as much use
in Europe as in (their native?) USA?
Any other study books to recommend?

PS I seemed to remember these were marketed by EAA, but their website
found me video's but no books...?

TIA,


Pazmany's Light Plane Design is well regarded. He was not of the
by guess and by gosh school - far from it - he was the real McCoy - even
though his PL-1 took flack for taking in the thousands of hours to build.
There is a comparably worthwhile design handbook from a couple of Aero
faculty at Loughborough U. in the UK - but I forget the name....
Their design example was also a metal 2 place low wing monoplane but
they are good on wood specs
