I am acquainted with Gen Chuck Yeager as he and I belong
to the same gun and archery club in Northern California.
It was my turn to open the clubhouse and bar one Sunday
morning. Chuck brought in homemade cookies per usual
and we talked airplanes. I asked him about the P-38 and
he basically said that the reason they required two
engines was because they were made by Allison and a
backup was necessary. I guess Yeager does not care for
Allison engines.
