  1. Off topic based on P51 comment. Mustang was built with the Allison single stage V12 because that’s what the P40 Tomohawk used. Both were intended for low level use so no worries. A British test pilot saw the Mustang’s potential. Rolls Royce were given 5 airframes and 6 weeks later had a prototype flying. It looked clunky with a big under spinner air intake but was only 4mph slower than the finished version with intercooler alongside the main radiator.

  2. Compare Me262 front view with a Boeing 727. The latter is of course bigger but the similarities are uncanny.
