Guide to Pre-1930 Aircraft Engines, 1972
Item — Book 092, Book: 000
Identifier: 20212025
Abstract
The GUIDE TO PRE-1930 AIRCRAFT ENGINES is offered as testimony and a source of reference for the aircraft engines of that "golden age" of aviation. It brings together under one cover the details and important information concerning the great rarity of American aircraft powerplants which contributed to America's tremendous achievements in aviation. Because of the variety of combinations possible between engines and carburetors and propellers, each engine is covered only in its basic-design...

The Aircraft Engine and its Operation, 1962-01, 1951
Item — Book 089, Book: 000
Identifier: 20191011
Scope and Contents
Document Type: Engine Operations ManualDocument Number: PWA109702From the FOREWORD: The aircraft engine is designed to power aircraft in flight. Its construction, installation, servicing, and repair present many interesting and important problems; but its actual operation is, naturally, of more immediate concern to the pilot. A number of texts, handbooks, and manuals are available which discuss the principles of engine design and installation, and describe the...
