This book examines Hispano Suiza's evolution and the technological advances of its engines. Starting with circumstances that favored the creation of an indigenous aviation engine, the story follows engine development for a breadth of applications, particularly aviation engines, and describes, in parallel, the birth and development of aircraft in Spain by Campañía Española de Construcciones Aeronáuticas (CECA), La Hispano, La Hispano Aircraft, La Hispano Suiza, SAF-5, SAF-15, and La Hispano Aviación. Hispano Suiza in Aeronautics: Men, Companies, Engines and Aircraft is an in-depth study covering a vast period in the history of the Spanish and French aircraft industry (1913-1967) and offers insight into Hispano Suiza's significant developments.

"The product of an organization is the outward evidence of its history and development. In the case of the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, the performance of Wright Engines during the past fourteen years is an outstanding example of the value of experience combined with the highest ambition to excel. The name 'WRIGHT' has, of course, been synonymous with flying since Orville Wright made the first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903. The famous brothers gave flying to the world, and the Company bearing their name has always endeavoured to contribute to the progress of aviation to a degree suited to the brilliant example of its founders ... the manufacture of nearly 15,000 aviation engines--and an unbroken chain of successes leading back to the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk in 1903."--Pages 6-7.
