Vees For Victory!: The Story of the Allison V-1710 Aircraft Engine 1929-1948 (Schiffer Military History)Vee's for Victory! : The Story of the Allison V-1710 Aircraft Engine 1929-1948 (Schiffer  Military History) 
by Daniel D. Whitney

Book Description 
Over 60 percent of U.S. Army fighters during World War II were powered by the Allison V-1710 engine. It was a strong and reliable power plant that powered the pre-war generation of 400 mph Army pursuits, and the majority of Army combat fighters on through  World War II. Even so, the V-1710 was controversial and often maligned, considered by some to have been a "second rate" engine.  Author Whitney's objective was to find, and tell, the true story of the 70,000 V-1710's and the people who built them. A critique of  Vee's For Victory! was provided by the Editor of Wings Magazine, August 1997, who wrote: "Presenting the 1929-1948 story of Allison's V-1710 engine in a revealing investigative style that uncovers a great deal of new material, this well illustrated volume represents  something seldom seen these days Ð pure, original research. Combined with lucid writing and penetrating analysis, Vee's for Victory!  recounts Allison's up and down career from Curtiss XP-37, through the XP-58, and GM XP-75 Eagle. In between are all the major  fighters which utilized the Allison, including the P-38, P-39, the lightweight fighters XP-46A and XP-47, as well as the early P-51  Mustangs. Author Dan Whitney carefully and seamlessly grafts the histories of these aircraft to their engines and supercharger  components, relying on new information from aero engineers and test pilots to present what is sure to become a milestone in the recording of aviation history.", over 400 b/w and color photographs, line drawings, charts, 8 1/2" x 11", appendices, fully annotated

Allison's beginning as a small race car engine shop in the 1930s, growth to a major aircraft engine manufacturer during WWII, and development into the most admired gas turbine engine company in the world in the 1990s.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin, which powered the majority of Allied aircraft in Europe, including British and American designs, is considered by many to be the most outstanding liquid-cooled reciprocating piston engine of WWII.  Its predecessor was the Kestrel, through its single stage conception to its 2-speed, 2-stage final form. 22 Merlin powered aircraft

Wright Aero's Last Lipuid Cooled Engine

Wright Aero's Last Liquid-Cooled Piston Engine
 In the 1930s, when gas turbines were practically unknown, engine designers worldwide struggled to create a new and more powerful generation of aircraft engines. It was hoped these engines would push aircraft to speeds of more than 500 miles per hour. One such engine, the Tornado, was a remarkable 42-cylinder liquid-cooled radial conceived by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation.
