True enough, but you have to admit, as good as those Allison V-1710s were...a P-38 with twin Merlins would be a very, very interesting airplane.

I’m an R-2800 Double Wasp guy, myself, but I do love P-38s.

The Brits might have put Merlins in their P-38’s — it was the Brits after all that put the RR Merlin in the P51, and that made that fighter a world-beater.

I’m not aware that they did, however...
