Those Lancaster bombers are impressive. I can only imagine what one of them must sound like, like four Mustangs? They and the famous RAF Squadron 617 were featured in the "Dam Busters" movie. Those Merlin engines could have been made by Rolls Royce, Packard, Continental, or Ford of England; although, I believe most of the surviving Merlins are the Packard-built type. I can't read the text, but the illustration on the Packard ad "From Horseless Carriages to Multi Engine Bombers" is confusing as it pictures what appears to be the B-24 Liberator bomber. This airplane did not use Packard-built engines.
