Dave & Gator, to conjure up connotations of a P-51 the accompaniment of a PT boat seems to be appropriate.


Nothing short of perfect mechanical harmony Guscha!

Here's a couple of good examples of what a 12 cylinder Packard ensemble sounds like when it's strapped to wings...youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ys7QqNTASWk

This Merlin's singin' it's tune...sounds like its at max RPM at the same time the supercharger's screamin' for more...youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8X-kgOn5G6Q

That was the sound of freedom in the 1940's...makes hair stand up where ya' don't have any.
