Among the jets, a propeller-driven aircraft sneaks in. "For the engineer," writes Boyne, "Milstein's works of art are reminders of the long, tortuous history of airfoils, which evolved from bulky wire-rigged forms to the sword shapes of today. The engineer will note the swift development of jets from tiny oil burners, so fragile that they might last only twenty-five hours, to the huge, incredibly powerful engines of today, which run for so many thousands of hours that they are more vulnerable to rust than to wear."
