Description

The Merlin Engine Spitfires Handbook tells the story of one of the most famous engine/aircraft combinations in history. From its origins with Rolls Royce's PV-12 aero engine in 1933, to its widespread use in iconic aircraft such as the Hawker Hurricane and de Havilland Mosquito, the Merlin engine played a pivotal role in World War II. This handbook reproduces original RAF 'Pilot's Notes' from the Crécy Publishing archive, providing an unparalleled insight into the development of the Spitfire. With coverage of the Mk1, Mk9, and Mk16 Spitfires, readers can see how the engine evolved over time, from its early versions to the ultimate combination with the Packard Merlin 266 in the 1943 Spitfire 16. By examining these historic documents, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the increasing power and capability of this supreme engine/aircraft pairing.
