Engineering Fluid Mechanics Textbook: Any Suggestions?

In summary, the person is looking for a good engineering fluid mechanics textbook and asks for suggestions. Some classic ones are mentioned and a specific textbook is recommended. The person clarifies if they are looking for an introductory book or a more theoretical one, and shares their experience with a book they tried. They mention wanting a book with engineering applications as a prerequisite for an aerodynamics course. They also mention finding a couple of books and plan to share their thoughts on them later.

I'm looking for a good Engineering Fluid Mechanics textbook.

Any suggestions?

I tried the Landau and Lif****z book, and didn't like it, seemed to me to be too theoretical, not many applications or problems. I'm looking for one with engineering applications, to serve as the prerequisite for an engineering aerodynamics course I want to take next year.

I found a couple of books, I'll post here if they're any good once I'm done with them.
