The story of the Merlin engine encompasses the history of powered flight, from the ingenuity of the Wright Brothers to the horrors of World War I, and from the first crossing of the Atlantic to the hotly contested races for the Schneider Trophy. At its heart, this is the story of the heroic men and women who built and flew the most iconic planes of World War II - the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, DeHavilland Mosquito and the Avro Lancaster - all powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. The Merlin was British ingenuity at its height, a result of artistry and problem-solving under pressure that won the Battle of Britain and turned the tide of war. Book jacket.
