Allied Aircraft Piston Engines of World War II: History and Development of Frontline Aircraft Piston Engines Produced by Great Britain and the united (Reference)

While it took the demands of two World Wars to bring aviation into acceptance by the general public, it was a relative handful of engineers, entrepreneurs, & pilots who positioned the technology & resources necessary to make aviation one of the deciding factors in ending World War II. This book attempts to illuminate some of the historically significant technical developments that were incorporated into World War II aircraft engines that directly contributed to the execution & tactics of the war. Although numerous excellent books have been published on all of the more common World War II aircraft & several books have been published on engines, rarely have the two been brought together. ALLIED AIRCRAFT PISTON ENGINES OF WORLD WAR II offers an interesting look at the technology that was so important to eventual Allied victory. The book is organized into separate sections on British & U.S. aircraft piston engines. Engines detailed in the book include those from the manufacturers: Rolls-Royce, Bristol, Napier, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, Allison, & Wright Aeronautical Corporation. An enjoyable, informative book for aircraft enthusiasts, WW II veterans & buffs, & historians.Graham White is the author of 'Allied Aircraft Piston Engines of World War II: History and Development of Frontline Aircraft Piston Engines Produced by Great Britain and the united (Reference)' with ISBN 9781560916550 and ISBN 1560916559.
