Hi,
I am currently trying to do a project related to this engine and I am trying to find information about it. I am looking for technical papers, journals or overall description of the inner workings of the engine. I am looking forward for something more in depth than wikipedia.

Also, information about engines from similar years (IIWW years) would be appreciated.

Have you gone through the "See also" and "References" sections of that wikipedia article already?

Thank you for that ! Do you know where can I find performance analysis data?
