JW,

Thanks for the info, did not know that. I kind of wonder though about the P-51 nickname. The Ryan PT-22 trainer using a radial five cylinder Kinner was called the Maytag Messerschmitt. The engine has a uneven sound running like what the old gas powered Maytag washers supposedly sounded like.

Nice photograph of the Lanc.
