...Allison Engineering Co. factory, wholly owned by General Motors. There the sleek 1,200-h.p. motors that power the Army's fastest ships are built. Because the Air Corps takes the entire output of the plant, uses them to power speedy Lockheed, Bell and Curtiss pursuit ships and Bell cannon-carrying fighters (see p. 15), every Allison is a Prestone-cooled secret...
