There are multiple inaccuracies (simplifications, wrong assumptions, mistakes) in that booklet. However it still provides a very good guide of how the many variables impact the supercharger and engine performance. It can be used to estimate the impact of a change in a variable, but do not...

It seems to be only 64 pages. You can find flip-through videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPPF_waYhZ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im68eb1eycQ

That's a lot of Bf 109 books. I'll add a recent 109 purchase of mine: 'Das Jagdflugzeug Messerschmitt Bf 109 - Technik, Eigenschaften, Leistung, Stückzahlen, Bewährung' by Michael Baumgartl.

I don't think the books that you mention are very technical. You mention Prein, but I suspect you mean Jochen Prien & Peter Rodeicke, however even that book I would not really call technical either. What exactly do you mean by "technical" and what exactly are you looking for? Really technical...

The maximum manifold pressure (boost) that an engine is able to operate on is definitely a function of compression ratio of the piston engine. The higher the compression ratio of the piston engine, the lower the manifold pressure (boost) that can be used. Greg does not seem to understand that in...

I don't have that book, but judging from its TOC it might be less interesting than the title implies: Taken from: 100-octane (ebook), Peter Varey | 9780953844043 | Boeken | bol.com

It seems to me that the exhausts are split in 2, not 3, but maybe you have better photos.

My impression is that the flame dampeners on the F-82F/G/H merely diverted the exhaust sideways and somewhat downwards, instead of backwards:

Note that there are 4 volumes of Me 262 by Smith & Creek. In the Luftwaffe Classic series they are numbered 3 through 6. This is the numbering of the Luftwaffe Classic series: Classic 1: JV 44 The Galland Circus, by Robert Forsyth (artwork and drawings by Creek & Bentley) Classic 2: Hs 129...

"Note that the inlet alone provides 70% of the thrust, the spike is 14%, and the ejector pushes with 27% to make up the total thrust for the aircraft." That is not quite right. The spike does not provide 14 % of the thrust, but provides a drag equal to 14 % of the thrust. The inlet 0-2...
