Of course, on some engines, that was grounds for grounding the aircraft to
inspect the engine, to see if it was damaged from exceeding 100% power.
On the P-51 Mustang, this was called "War Emergency Power"; it would
give some extra zip, but would also destroy the engine in around ten
minutes after engaging it. :-)
