That'll be little consolation to the pilot who experiences an total
engine failure 300 miles from the carrier!

Seriously though, It is nothing short of incredible how reliability
has increased in engines and aircraft. I'd still worry just a little
bit though....


In the days of piston engines, no serious fighter had more than one
engine.

I think all the pilots who flew P-38 Lightnings might disagree with that
statement.
