AERO ENGINES,
ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED IN ORDER OF COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
~AUSTRIAN, BELGIAN, BRITISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, U.S.A.~
~Note.~--So far as possible this is a complete list of all the
aero engines of any importance.
Data are confined to what is now being made or actually in use;
untested "show novelties" are ignored.
In the case of some engines it has for various reasons proved
impossible to obtain full data in time for inclusion in this
edition.
In a general way these lists are confined to aeroplane engines.
