The piston engines that powered Second World War fighters, the men who designed them, and the secret intelligence work carried out by both Britain and Germany would determine the outcome of the first global air war. Advanced jet engines may have been in development but every militarily significant air battle was fought by piston-engined fighters. Whoever designed the most powerful piston engines would win air superiority and with it the ability to dictate the course of the war as a whole. This is the never before told story of a high-tech race, hidden behind the closed doors of design offices and intelligence agencies, to create the war's best fighter engine. Using the fruits of extensive research in archives around the world together with the previously unpublished memoirs of fighter engine designers, author Calum E. Douglas tells the story of a desperate contest between the world's best engineers - the Secret Horsepower Race.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I received a call from Ron Walker, a member of my team, who told me that we had been assigned a kidnapping case from Columbia, South Carolina.

There was only one call over the weekend demanding a ransom, but the sheriff’s office was convinced it was a hoax. #3 The FBI had never lost a ransom package. The outcome is usually much darker when dealing with a sexually motivated kidnapping. In those cases, the offender's sadistic drive for power and complete control over his victim is the reason for the crime. #4 I had been the Bureau’s first full-time profiler, and for several years I was the only one. The workload became overwhelming, and I pleaded with the assistant FBI director in charge of the Academy to provide me with more full-time help.
