Description

Exploring the often-overlooked world of German aero engine design during World War II, this book delves into the development of piston engines and turbojets that powered the Luftwaffe's aircraft.

From the iconic Daimler-Benz, BMW, and Junkers engines to lesser-known designs from Siemens, Argus, and Hirth, the book provides a comprehensive look at the key players in German aero engine design. It also examines the Junkers Jumo 004 and Walter 109-509, which powered the Messerschmitt Me 262 and Me 163 jet and rocket fighters.

With detailed tables comparing Allied and German piston engines, a glossary of key terms, and a bibliography, this book offers a unique insight into a crucial aspect of World War II aviation technology.
