The old Allisons built on the Merlin pattern were not bad engines, weren't they the preferred for the 51? The old multi-stack radials as in the F4U Corsairs were some mean machinery! My pop was a WWII Navair Radioman/top turret man in PB4Y's was a aircraft mechanic after the war where I learned a LOT about aircraft and those engines a LOONNG time ago. Dad's first work company was Slick Airlines.
Most do not realize the old plywood PT boats were Allison equipped. Avgas, 110 octane WOOHOO!!
