Re: Men bet their lives on it - the Packard-built Merlin V-12

The British required the Packard-built Merlins to be the same as the ones they produced. This was so a crew changing or working on an engine would not have to be concerned about the source. This was important to have the most efficiency in war time situations. There was no time to guess: 'Is this one of ours or one of theirs?'
