  Powering the World's Airliners -...

  From propellers to turbofans, this illustrated history of engines will be “of interest to modelers and aviation historians alike” (AMPS Indianapolis). 
   
  The first efforts of man to fly were limited by his ability to generate sufficient power to lift a heavier-than-air machine off the ground. Propulsion and thrust have therefore been the most fundamental elements in the development of aircraft engines. 
   
  From the simple propellers of the first airliners of the 1920s and 1930s, to the turboprops and turbojets of the modern era, the engines used in airliners have undergone dramatic development over a century of remarkable change. These advances are examined in detail by aeronautical engineer Reiner Decher, who provides a layman’s guide to the engines that have, and continue to, power the aircraft that carry millions of travelers across millions of miles each year. Decher also looks at the development of aero engines during the Second World War and how that conflict drove innovation and explains the nature of wing design, from the early twentieth century to the present. 
   
  To enable an easy understanding of this intriguing subject, Powering the World’s Airliners is profusely illustrated, transporting readers back to the time of each major development and introducing them to the key individuals of the aero industry in each era. After reading this comprehensive yet engaging story of the machines that power the aircraft in which we fly, no journey will ever seem quite the same again.

  For fifteen years, Tim Bradford has meandered round the quiet streets of his North London home, seeking out
  
  the ordinary and the extraordinary, the sublime and the ridiculous.

And that's just the beginning.
  
  All of life is in these pages. Well, some. OK, just a little bit. But with its idiosyncratic wit and charming illustrations, this book is a timely reminder that you can find beauty, humour and life, wherever you call home.
