I have added Don Sherman's excellent article called the
    "Power Struggle" published in the Air &
Space Magazine in
    Dec 96 Jan 97.

    Excellent history lesson for the aircraft V8
enthusiast.

Paul,

The pages of the article are not in numerical order on your web page.  Also when I click on the web address:

http://www.rotaryeng.net/DS-smith-art(1).pdf

I get the infamous 404.  I have to manually add "(1).pdf" (MY quotes) to get the article.  I don't understand why!

Anyway it looks like and interesting article.  Maybe I'll forward it to  YOU KNOW WHO.

It works for FireFox. What browser are you using Joel?

Some browser may not like the brackets. If that is the case I can
change the names.

Page 76 is a side bar and it is out of page order. I'll fix that
soon.

This article inspired me to start the newsletter as I knew Mazda rotary
car engines were being successfully used in airplanes and I wondered
why. Mostly because of what Everett Hatch and Steve Beckham were doing.
I had not heard of Dave Garber at that time.

BTW Don Sherman attended my school for race car designers back in the
early 1970's. He occasionally makes nasty comments on here when I let him :)
We will probably get one over this subject :)
