Re: Carrier Trials for P-51s and B-25s, 1943/44
I think it also had a great deal to do with the Navy's penchant/belief that liquid cooled engines were not suitable for carrier operations. Note that there were no liquid cooled engines on carriers from the early 1930s until the AJ Savage in the late 1940s. And that was due to their desire for an aircraft that could carry nucl. weapons--competition with the USAF.
