This book is more than a corporate history of the Aircraft Turbine Engines and General Electric's Aircraft Engine Group. It is the story of the evolution of aviation and the 20th century transportation revolution that followed with a focus on the engines that powered the planes. Illustrated with drawings, documents, and photographs, many in color and on almost every page. Printed on high quality archival paper. Military aviation and the driving forces of World Wars I and II receive considerable coverage. Almost every warbird is mentioned in this book, many in some detail.
