Alain de Cadenet took a good portion of the program talking about Packard's involvement with the engine and the performance it gave P-51 Mustang. He also went for a ride in a Mustang. There is some rare footage of a Curtiss P-40 fitted with a Merlin in place of the customary Allison. Great stuff!

Some time back I took a stab at describing Packard's involvement with the Merlin. The article: "The Car that Won the Air War Over Europe" was published in the PAC's Cormorant News Bulletin and I believe is still available on this website.
