Stanley Hooker's "How I Design Aero Engines" is a good autobiographical monograph, which covers the behind-the-scenes stories of the development of many classic products of Rolls-Royce from the 30s to the late 70s, as well as many historical treasures, such as the negotiation process between China and Rolls-Royce over the introduction of Spey. I found that some places may be due to translation or editing, and I found that the text was not clear enough or that it was not very enjoyable to read, so I thought about it and found a way, that is, to buy a copy of the original British version in 1984 and read it in comparison, maybe I could find the answer.
