In RAF service the Gloster Whirlwind, Mosquito and Beaufighter
all come to mind.

*Westland* Whirlwind - one of the products of the brilliant but
erratic Teddy Petter. Gloster did have a design which was a competitor
for the same spec. - using two Bristol Perseus, IIRC - but it wasn't
selected.

Ob. carriers: The De Havilland Sea Mosquito, using two merlins turning
the same way, had no problems operating from 'carriers. The Sea Hornet
did have handed engines, however.
