… review by Jukka Juutinen "There are some books that deserve to be recommended without any doubt; books that are that good. Calum Douglas's "Secret Horsepower Race" deserves such praise. I have been interested in WW II-era piston aero engines for over 25 years. The path has been a rocky one with plenty of books that are simply unreliable and poor.

Graham White's book on the R-2800 is not on a par with it due to various shortcomings from poor design to the author's sometimes peculiar attitudes. White's book on the R-4360 is much better. And then there is the excellent series of books from Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust. Unfortunately, these books are not particularly well-marketed thus making them unknown to may potential readers…."
