The Making and Breaking of Frank Whittle, Genius of the Jet Revolution
Duncan Campbell-Smith
Fascinated by aircraft from an early age, Frank Whittle was turned down by the RAF as a teenager but, once accepted, his exceptional talent was recognized; he was trained as a pilot and sent to Cambridge to study engineering. This biography of the inventor of the turbojet engine describes the journey that led to his ground-breaking innovation and the profound effect it had on the development of post-war aviation.
