The Power to Fly: The Development of the Piston Engine in Aviation
London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd, (1971). First edition. Illustrated. Cloth over boards. Octavo. 224 pages.
The fascinating tale of science, engineering wizardry, and commercial skullduggery that produced the engines which made powered flight possible. A good balance of technical material and characters in this excellent history.
Very good in a very good dust jacket. A few light rubs to binding extremities. Prior owner name at top of half title. Jacket has a few light extremity rubs and a hint of fading to spine. Very clean and sound overall.
