Comments by "David Elliott" (@davidelliott5843) on "The only Allied jet fighter of WW2 | Gloster Meteor" video.
UK basically screwed Frank Whittle over. His designs were given to Rover (cars), because Rolls-Royce were too busy making piston engines. Rover were basically incompetent and RR eventually got involved. Their Nene used a centrifugal compressor basically the Merlin/Griffon supercharger. Russian MIG-15 used a copy of the RR jet engine entirely because the British post-war Leftist government gave some RR jet engines to Stalin.
