The contact to the engine companies has resulted in a huge archive of informations, photos and figures as basis of this book. His interest in the history of jet engines has led to contacts to the family of the German inventor Hans von Ohain and to the son of the English inventor Frank Whittle, producing new insights into the history of jet engines. The author has tried to explain the technology simple but precise and has used plenty of photos and figures.The author wishes the inclined reader an entertaining reading pleasure. His goal would be achieved if the reader occasionally thinks: where did he get that from, or: I didn't know that before, or: he has explained that well.view less
