[Nicholas Kokolakis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Despite being written 82 years ago, this may be one of the best books I’ve ever read on the subject of small aircraft engines and the operation of their respective components. I learned more about the combustion cycle as well as the use of superchargers, blowers, pressure carburetors and magnetos that I ever have before. Incredibly helpful and useful book!
