Dutch Boys
Martin Leeuwis Publications2024English
208 pg.ISBN 97894 90008 314Review written by: Rene Verjans(English) Yes, finally an English edition! It had to happen sometime! After previous publications by publisher Leeuwis Productions with Air Force pilot stories in Dutch, now finally a book in English. It contains almost 150 short stories by 62 Dutch Air Force pilots. And people, just to be clear, I really don’t have any shares in this publisher, but I have been a fan of this book format for years; just to the point, all kinds of stories about experiences with older and newer aircraft, sometimes serious or with drama or accidents, and so on and so on!

Springer2023English
738 pg.ISBN 978-3-658-38530-9 ISBN 978-3-658-38531-6 (eBook)Review written by: Alexander Beeck(English) Eckardt’s ‘Jet Web’ offers a comprehensive exploration of the development history of turbojet engines from the 1920s to the late 1950s. It primarily focuses on the intricate relationships and collaborations between the United Kingdom (& USA), Germany, and Switzerland in this fascinating journey. While the narrative repeats in parts the well-known ‘Whittle vs. Von Ohain Saga’, it mainly sheds new light on unexpected connections and especially, the significant influence of axial compressor technology from the Swiss-German company Brown Boveri & Cie.
The author, a gas turbine engineer, spent a decade meticulously researching and compiling this remarkable account, resulting in a weighty volume with some 250 informative b/w photographs, technical schemes and detailed drawings. This document provides an overview of the book’s content, emphasizing its unique contributions and the target audience it aims to engage.
