In the 1930s, both Continental Motors Corporation and Pratt & Whitney Aircraft undertook projects to develop sleeve-valve aircraft engines. These were experimental programs driven by the United States' need to develop higher-powered, better-performing aircraft in the lead up to WWII. Several such experimental engine programs were carried out at the behest of both the Army and the Navy. The history of these experimental developments, the resulting engines, and the ultimately futile aircraft applications provides the focus of this book. American Sleeve-Valve Aircraft Engines is the third in a book series about experimental engines built for the U.S. Military before and during World War II. American Sleeve-Valve Aircraft Engines is extensively researched using material from the Air Force Historical Research Agency, National Air and Spece Museum, National Museum of the United States Air Force, Pratt & Whitney Archives, U.S. National Archives, and several individuals who worked on the projects. It provides detailed coverage of U.S. Army and U.S. Navy sleeve-valve aircraft engine projects. A glossary and index are included. AEHS Member Price: US $21.95.
