Allied Aircraft Piston Engines of World War
II
By Graham White, September
1995, 442 Pages, 13 chapters, Hardbound
$80.00
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, and pilots who positioned the technology and 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 and tactics of the war. 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 and U.S. aircraft piston engines. Engines detailed in the book include those from these manufacturers: Rolls-Royce, Bristol, Napier, General Electric, Pratt and Whitney, Allison, and Wright Aeronautical Corporation.
