Aero Engine Books Published
Aeronaut announces the publication of a 3-volume set German & Austro-Hungarian Aero Engines of WWI. This set of books, by noted German historian Michael Düsing (August Euler, Germania), documents all aero engines from Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the start of engine development until the end of WWI, including engines for both airships and airplanes. In addition, many pre-war German airplanes are illustrated, including the very first German airplane. The book is published in three volumes totaling 740 pages with hundreds of photographs and drawings in each volume. Volume 1 has 234 pages, Volume 2 has 232 pages, and Volume 3 has 274 pages.
The books are now available direct from Amazon as well as Aeronaut. All the best, Jack Herris

A quick note, while 3 volumes, this is one book and each volume is part of the whole so be prepared to buy all 3.
Having a particular interest in the war time products of DMG - Daimler (Mercedes) - I looked at the three listings on Amazon. No details of the contents of the individual volumes so I looked carefully at the covers. Volume 1 clearly shows the Mercedes logo on the front and a cutaway drawing of a Mercedes D IV engine on the back. Imagine my reaction when I purchase the volume to discover nary a word about either. Volume one goes alphabetically to Bussing. Not a Daimler or Mercedes in sight and no bibliography or references! I suppose that will be at the end of vol 3. What I’ve read is well written. Well researched? Won’t know that until I save up enough to buy the volume with bibliography and references etc. Regards John

Contents
The volumes are organized by alphabetical order of manufacturer.
Volume 1 is A & B and Introduction Volume 2 is D to L (there is no C) Volume 3 is M to Z and appendices Volume 1 includes Argus, BMW, and Benz among others. Volume 2 includes Daimler among others. Volume 3 includes MAN, Maybach, Oberursel, NAG, and Rapp among others. I deleted the A-B, D-L, etc., to simplify the subtitles. All the best, Jack Herris |
