Some of the most significant engineering and technological breakthroughs of the 20th century centered on the development of piston aero engines from 1920 to 1957 This book explains in detailed wellillustrated and easytounderstand terms how these pistonpowered radialengine airliners advanced rapidly The aircraft originated with fabriccovered fuselages with wooden wings and morphed into allmetal Ford Trimotors as the worlds first true modern airliner the Douglas DC3 longrange fourengine transoceanic flying boats Finally the ultimate Queens of the skies Lockheed Constellations Douglas DC7s and Boeing Stratocruisers flew at the zenith of the piston age in the midtolate 1950sMany magnificent aircraft bridged the gap from small singleengine airliners carrying six passengers in the 1920s to large longrange fourengine landplanes carrying 60to80 passengers and linking all the worlds continents by air in the 1950s This book not only traces the technical evolution of every radialengine powerplant used over that time span but also includes interesting and factfilled sidebars that detail what it was like flying aboard each generation of these aircraft In 1948 the largest radial piston engine ever produced entered airline service the mighty 3500hp 28cylinder Pratt Whitney R4360 it is one of 12 different radial engines covered indepth by the authors of this bookWith one author having been an airline pilot and the other an air racing enthusiast and lifetime member of the Aircraft Engine Historical Society this book offers readers the best of both worlds Colorfully illustrated stories of flying aboard the worlds greatest pistonpowered airliners are interwoven with detailed yet easytounderstand descriptions and graphics showing the intricacies of highperformance piston radial engines The advancement and success of Americas air transportation system can be linked directly to the concurrent growth of longrange highspeed airliners and their revolutionary powerplants and this book tells the compelling story of aviation progress and development for the very first time.

Innovation, practical inventiveness, is the main force behind America\'s preeminence. But there is more to this extraordinary history. Harold Evans traces how the innovators have time and again proved to be democratizers, driven not by greed but by an ambition to be remembered. They translated the nation\'s political ideals into economic reality. Some of the most significant engineering and technological breakthroughs of the 20th century centered on the development of piston aero engines from 1920 to 1957. This book explains in detailed, well-illustrated, and easy-to-understand terms how these piston-powered radial-engine airliners advanced rapidly. The aircraft originated with fabric-covered fuselages with wooden wings and morphed into all-metal Ford Trimotors as the world\'s first true modern airliner, the Douglas DC-3, long-range four-engine transoceanic flying boats. Finally, the ultimate Queens of the skies Lockheed Constellations, Douglas DC-7s, and Boeing Stratocruisers flew at the zenith of the piston age in the mid-to-late 1950s.Many magnificent aircraft bridged the gap from small single-engine airliners carrying six passengers in the 1920s to large long-range, four-engine landplanes carrying 60-to-80 passengers and linking all the world\'s continents by air in the 1950s. This book not only traces the technical evolution of every radial-engine powerplant used over that time span but also includes interesting and fact-filled sidebars that detail what it was like flying aboard each generation of these aircraft. In 1948, the largest radial piston engine ever produced entered airline service, the mighty 3,500-hp 28-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-4360 it is one of 12 different radial engines covered in-depth by the authors of this book.With one author having been an airline pilot and the other an air racing enthusiast and lifetime member of the Aircraft Engine Historical Society, this book offers readers the best of both worlds. Colorfully illustrated stories of flying aboard the world\'s greatest piston-powered airliners are interwoven with detailed yet easy-to-understand descriptions and graphics showing the intricacies of high-performance piston radial engines. The advancement and success of America\'s air transportation system can be linked directly to the concurrent growth of long-range, high-speed airliners and their revolutionary powerplants, and this book tells the compelling story of aviation progress and development for the very first time.
