A versatile fellow. Various fluid dynamics formulations were originated by him, and he also taught space mechanics while I was a grad student out at Forrestal in the 1960s. He typically opened his class with a hearty, Italian-accented “Good morning!” (On one occasion an attempt to steal a march on Professor Crocco was made by a student who had written “Buon giorno” on the blackboard — but he had misspelled it.)
