Re: American Fuel Won The Battle of Britain
Hello
yes, British began built their own 100 oct production capacity before the war but also buy 100 oct from USA. But own production and diversion of sources were keys to RAF decision to began to switch to 100 oct from 87 oct.
100 oct fuel gave better performance only below full throttle height by allowing the use of higher boost. So to get most out of it one need engines with very effective superchargers.
