Aviation Engines: Design—Construction—Operation and Repair
Aviation Engines: Design, Construction, Operation and Repair was written by Victor W. Pagé, a lieutenant in the aviation section of the United States Signal Corps, for students, mechanics and engineering officers during the First World War. Pagé explains why internal-combustion engines suit aircraft, the principles of two- and four-stroke cycles, efficiency, compression, fuels and carburetion, ignition, lubrication and cooling, and then the construction of cylinders, pistons, crankshafts and valves. He describes the leading engines of the day, rotary, radial and V-type, and gives practical advice on installation, inspection, troubleshooting and repair, with hundreds of illustrations.
