  1. Recall that effective resource management was one of the key reasons the Allies (and especially the US) had such great performance logistically. One good example is the prohibition of metal group insignia. The US saved several tons of paint & metal from that alone. In this case they had to allocate scarce resources for best results. The engines went to designs already in production and service. That's also why the Spitfire & 109 were in production the entire war. It was less about "control" than logistical efficiency.

  2. It's amazing how many "woulda coulda" designs we saw in WW2. Even today engines are a serious consideration for any fighter design. Both the Russians & China still lag far behind western development, and other countries can't even get started.
