Re: Placing the Bell P39 Aircobra.
The Twin Wasp was never, NEVER as powerful as the contemporary Hercules. Not in 1940, not in 1943, not in any year. By the time the Twin wasp was rated at 1350 hp, the Hercules was already a 1700+ hp engine.

BTW, what was the max TO weight of Twin Wasp Wellington“s vs. Hercules Wellingtons?
