This review is from: German Jet Engine and Gas Turbine Development, 1930-45 (Hardcover)
The title is an understatement, Kay covers every single development in this area in Germany, even oddball designs I'd never heard of. I've seen books with encyclopedic lists of engines, I've seen books with oodles of details on a single design, but I've never seen a book that has BOTH. And even those encyclopedic ones don't cover some of the engines he has in here.I can't recommend it enough -- if you're interested in the history of jet power, just buy it, you won't be disappointed. Now, I wonder if I can convince him to publish a follow-up volume on British engines?
