Airframe "Bible" 3

[shairframe]

Wondering...I have been in airframe design a couple of years now and notice I am told a lot of different things by other, more experienced, engineers who claim to know what they are talking about. Then a design will come back to me and it turns out maybe they don't know as much as perhaps they thought they did. Is there a good recommendation for an airframer's or aircraft structural design handbook, guide book, manual? I have standards to consult, but can't always find what I need, and I would love to have a couple of good manuals to at least have somewhere to begin.
Thanks!

Those are both great. I would also recommend Flabel's book. Though not for advanced users, he nail's the basic/intermediate concepts. I think the ratings speak for themselves.
