Wing Planforms

[Lima_Charlie]

Can anyone point me to place that I can find information on the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of wing planforms? Sweepback, Rectangular, Delta, etc...

Much appreciated!!

If you have one, the Jepp private pilot manual has an elementary explanation of different planforms. It goes nowhere near in-depth as the ANA book Doug mentioned, but it'll give you a good start.
