Re: The Secret Horsepower Race, Book Info.
An update from Calum Douglas from Sunday last:
"A small update, the German language version will be released next year, probably something like October 2022. The translation has begun in earnest. One nice thing about that version is that obviously all the quotes from German documents can be printed in their original form, we wont "double translate" my translation back to German again. "The Italian version is more advanced in progress, and is currently in final proof reading stage, I would hope it will be available from about March 2022 onwards. The Italian version is significantly longer than either the German or English versions, as for their market the Italian publisher decided that making it a "no-compromise enthusiasts" book was the best way, and so we have not shrunk down any of the images, or cut any text. So its absolutely MONSTROUS, literally the size of a telephone book, 600 pages A4. We did not cut very much text during making the Mortons version, maybe 1%, which was mostly trimming down a few huge sections of the RLM stenographic conference discussions, some of which I`d got a bit too enthusiastic about reproducing in large contiguous blocks without cuts. Nothing spellbindling important was removed, but if you enjoy those discussions, the Italian version will probably be a small improvement." |

Re: The Secret Horsepower Race, Book Info.
Does anyone know what the difference is between "The Secret Horsepower Race" and the "The Secret Horsepower Race DB 601 Edition"? Does the "DB 601 Edition" have additional information?

No, just different covers. There might be corrected typos, but no greater differences.

Re: The Secret Horsepower Race, Book Info.
Hi,
There are however, two different language versions of TSHR. Firstly, there is a comprehensive Italian version that has additional material. Also, there is now a German language version that has been reviewed by German aviation magazine, der luftfahrt Klassiker as...

Re: The Secret Horsepower Race, Book Info.
Hi Everyone,
Just to add that Calum Douglas also published the follow-on book, "Turbo/Supercharger Compressors and Turbines for Aircraft Propulsion in WWII" that has comments on the thread with that title on here. Those interested in TSHR might also consider this companion volume. There are comments in that thread. Cheers SM Last edited by schwarze-man; 7th May 2023 at 15:03. |
