Descriptive texts combined with period photos, sketches and annotated drawings provide chapter and verse on maintaining aircraft engines for the edification of RFC and RNAS engineers and mechanics. Soft covers and in perfect condition, this modest booklet provides contemporary descriptions that serious modellers will readily appreciate.
