Book Synopsis The Merlin Engine Spitfires Handbook by : Crécy Publishing
Download or read book The Merlin Engine Spitfires Handbook written by Crécy Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few can have imagined, when Rolls Royce first ran its new PV-12 aero engine in 1933, that the soon re-named Merlin would go on to be the most famous engine in the world. In a production run that lasted from 1936 to 1956, Rolls Royce built over 160,000 Merlins in 50 different variants, and over 50,000 examples were built in the USA under the Packard name. The early versions of the Merlin produced around 1000 horsepower, but late version Merlins were rated at up to 2000hp and it was Merlin and Packard engines that powered some of the most famous aircraft ever flown, including the Hawker Hurricane, North American P-51 Mustang, the Avro Lancaster and the de Havilland Mosquito. The inside story of the most famous engine/aircraft combination in history is told in The Merlin Engine Spitfires Handbook. Using original RAF 'Pilot's Notes' from the Crécy Publishing archive, this handbook reproduces the unabridged content, typography and illustration of those historic documents. Covering the Mk1 Spitfire, the Mk9 Spitfire and the Mk16 Spitfire, the reader can see the progression and development of the Spitfire - from the first pre-war version with its Merlin II engine, to the ultimate Spitfire/Merlin combination the 1943 Spitfire 16 with its American-built Packard Merlin 266. The Merlin Engine Spitfires Handbook puts the reader into the cockpit of these iconic aircraft, seeing the very documents those Spitfire pilots had to hand as they flew and fought in possibly the best-known fighter aircraft of all time, a witness to the increasing power and capability of this supreme engine/aircraft pairing.
Book Synopsis Ultimate Spitfires by : Peter Caygill
Download or read book Ultimate Spitfires written by Peter Caygill and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2007-03-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Spitfire is probably Britain's best loved and admired airplane. It is also revered around the world. This book looks at the later marques that were modified for various special tasks and differed to a large degree from Supermarine's first early versions that saw action in the early days of World War II. New and more powerful Rolls-Royce engines replaced the well-tried Merlin, but increased the aircrafts performance in terms of speed and operational altitude. Subtle changes to wing design also increased the maneuverability and capability of these spectacular models that survived in the operational role until superseded by the introduction of jet-powered flight.The content explains the design details, development and flight testing of twelve models and also contains their operational roles and history. Lengthy appendices will include Griffon-powered Spitfire aces, V1 rocket destruction aces, Griffon-powered Spitfire losses and where the survivors can be found."
Book Synopsis Spitfire in Blue by : Hugh R. Smallwood
Download or read book Spitfire in Blue written by Hugh R. Smallwood and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 1996-04-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one thinks of the Spitfire, visions of dogfights in the Battle of Britain spring to mind. Very little has appeared on the elite photo-reconnaissance (PR) machines that criss-crossed occupied Europe at various altitudes with only their speed and stealth as a defence. Spitfire in Blue helps to rectify this imbalance through tracing the history of one single Spitfire Mk XI PL965. A wartime veteran of dozens of dangerous missions with NO 16 squadron during the last year of the war, this machine has survived into the 1990s to be the only air worthy example of a Mk XI in the world today.

Book Synopsis Spitfire Aces of the Channel Front 1941-43 by : Andrew Thomas
Download or read book Spitfire Aces of the Channel Front 1941-43 written by Andrew Thomas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 80 years after the Spitfire was first developed it remains an icon of military aviation. Though many associate its victory during the Battle of Britain as the high point in the history of the Spitfire, the years following were of equal importance. Having weathered the initial storm, at the start of 1941 Fighter Command took the fight to the Germans with offensive missions over the Channel. This book reveals how first using the Spitfire I and II, and then following the introduction of the Bf 109 the cannon-armed Spitfire V, RAF squadrons embarked on a range of missions which included one of the most important air battles of the war, over Dieppe on 19 August 1942. Alongside British pilots were squadrons manned by exiled Europeans and pilots from the RAAF, RCAF and RNZAF. In just three years over 100 of these pilots were to rack up ace status in the Spitfire.
