...foregoing are powered with liquid-cooled (Rolls-Royce and Allison) engines of substantially less than 2,000 h.p. Makers of the air-cooled engines (Wright and Pratt & Whitney) which drive U.S. bombers and transports, also produce fighter engines. Except for the new Grumman Hellcat, whose Pratt & Whitney engine is still secret as to power, the following types are driven by air-cooled Pratt & Whitney 2,000s...
