Allison B-17
Saw a photo yesterday of a WWII B-17 test aircraft powered
with four Allison inline engines as opposed to the usual Wright Cyclones. Understand the modification added about 800 hp to the aircraft. Anyone know why the modification didn't go anywhere? The usual suspects? Too much disruption to B-17 production? Engines needed by P-38, P-39, P-40? Sorta "Lanc looking". SMH
