Description

Author Iain Murray, ISBN: 9781844255887, Hardback, 288 pages, H4588, Published in 2009

From giant airships, hypersonic passenger aircraft and a better cricket ball to the legendary bouncing bomb, this fascinating book examines the work of British engineering genius Sir Barnes Wallis. Dr lain Murray analyses Wallis's ideas as he did himself - like an experiment, to be invented, built and tested in operation. He looks at the huge range of Wallis's inventions and designs, explaining why these were so often superior to the alternatives of the day, and includes reviews of his wide portfolio of patents, and photographs and plans published here for the first time.
