What Our Customers Say...
Description
Folding Plates, Illustrated, Original Binding, Scarce
A fascinating 1950s aircraft manual for the De Havilland Ghost, the De Havilland Engine Company's second design of turbojet engine, and the world's first gas turbine engine to be produced. It was an improved version of the Goblin, the company's previous design, and the Ghost was used to power the De Havilland Venom, De Havilland Comet, and SAAB 29 Tunnan.
This manual contains information on the operation, maintenance, and overhaul of the Ghost engine.
Illustrated with two folding plates and numerous in-text illustrations, many which are in colour.
Collated, and lacking chapters 24 to 38.
In the original cloth binding with the original tabbed dividers.
A scarce work.
