August A. Cenkner Jr. 
Aerospace Technologies of Bell Aircraft Company : a Pictorial History (1935-1985) [EPUB ebook] 

The main thrust of this book is to acknowledge the technologies that the Bell-aerospace-company developed or refined. If certain programs incorporated technologies that were basically the same as other programs, then these same technology programs were not included in detail.
