  1. Not sure how I missed this one. When the Royal Air Force approached North American to build some of Curtiss's aircraft for them North American showed the RAF their ideas for a fighter. The RAF said yes but found it to be underpowered. So they took out the Alison engine and but in the Merlin in its place. So the aircraft went from being the A-36 to the P-51. And we all know what happened next.
