any good bookstore for about $15. It's old, but it addresses the
subject of power vs altitude very well. It also contains excellent
references to other books on nothing but that subject.

That Von Mises book also has an excellent section on props with the history
of propellor theory going back 200 years. By the time the Wright brothers flew
propellor theory was almost perfectly solidified :-)
