Q about WWII a/c
I was just at the Museum of Flight which is an *amazing* museum. Many
of the WWII a/c have ceilings of upwards FL370. How do piston and prop a/c have ceilings that high? Even supercharged engines I presume lose most of their performance that high. Even more so I'd expect the prop which can't be 'supercharged,' also must lose most of their performance. Any background on how they operate so high? Gerald Sylvester
