Default Was the Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp the best engine of WW II?
I agree; I was thinking radial engines when I wrote this. Both the BoB
victory and the USAAF's destruction of the Luftwaffe in early 1944 are
unimaninable without the Merlin powering the Hurricanes and Spitfires, and
the Packard-Merlin variants powering the P-51.
