Anybody read or have access to a pair of monographs published
in one book by the Harvard Business School in 1950, titled:
The Development of Aircraft Engines, by Robert Schlaifer, and
Aviation Fuels by S D Heron.
No, but I have these: https://www.amazon.com/Aircraft-Powerplant-Handbook-Aeronautics-Administration/dp/B015LABLOC
https://www.amazon.com/Pratt-Whitney-Aircraft-Story/dp/B000QXREUA
Also this, which covers WW1 engines and fuels. There doesn't appear to be
an eBook or later print version but it's been reprinted. Mine is a first edition, third impression.

Fuels by S D Heron.
It is usually known as Development of Aircraft Engines and Fuels.
The sub-title Two studies of relations between Government and Industry.
To obtain a better perspective of the US industry in this field it was decided that the situation regarding engine development - financial, political as well as progress - by the European manufacturers should
also be included in the study, which would range from the First World
War to the end of the Second. Including gas turbines.
For example British aero-engine development from its early days at the
Royal Aircraft Factory.
The US from the Lawrence Company, Wright, and how Wright's president,
F B Rentschler, formed the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Company.
Supercharging, radiators, high-octane fuels, carburettors, etc, all have separate mini chapters.
