...Also a wood plane is the graceful (6,200-Ib.) Russian fighter T-18, or MIG-3, which has plywood in wings and tail as well as fuselage. A single 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 1,200-h.p. motor gives it a top speed of 360 m.p.h. at 13,000 ft. Its armament is reportedly very light-two 7.6-mm. machine guns, one 12.7-mm. machine...
...presses that used to stamp out auto bodies, promptly offered it to Chrysler and Ford. G.M. had to make its own machines to bore turrets, so it made some for Ford and Chrysler too. Ford developed a new, better compound for molding ignition parts, which Pratt & Whitney now uses. "Liquid forging," a Ford casting method, releases forging equipment for other work, saves large amounts of metal...
Bell P39 (Airacobra)-single-engine, liquid-cooled. A part sharer in the criticism heaped on the P-40, the P39 has roughly the same limitations and the same positive virtues. Developments now being made in this design give the promise of much improved performance...
North American P-51 (Mustang)-single-engine, liquid-cooled. Newest of the Allison-powered U. S. pursuits, it has roughly the same limitations on altitude performance as other single-engine Allison craft. Improvement in the power plant and other technical changes promise a sensational improvement in altitude performance...
Lockheed P-38 (Lightning). A two-engine (liquid-cooled) pursuit plane, the P-38 has so far had only limited tests in action, notably in the Aleutians. Its performance has been brilliant. Turbo-supercharged, it has excellent high-altitude performance. At its best altitude it is one of the world's fastest fighting aircraft. Constant improvements are being made...
