Book – The Engines of Bomber Command: Europe 1939-1945

Description

Author Gordon A.A. Wilson

The Engines were the very heart of the aeroplanes of Bomber Command.

The crew who started them, and flew them, the men and women who maintain them, and the aeroplanes that carried them to the enemy relied upon these powerful wartime piston engines that had been engineered to their peak performance.

The fuselage what the body to carry the crew and armaments, but it was the engines that turned the body of the bomber aeroplane into a living, breathing instrument of war.
