Development of the Rolls‐Royce Merlin from 1939 to 1945

Abstract

A Lecture Delivered by Mr. A. C. Lovesey to the de Havilland Aircraft Company Technical Department in November, 1945. SINCE the war ended a number of British and American technicians have visited Germany and nearly all come back with the same story—the story of that army of German scientists who have been working with super equipment—supersonic wind‐tunnels, high altitude plants—long term planning of most fantastic projects—and one is almost persuaded that we must have been a lot of amateurs in this country!
