USAAF engine oil in WW2
Silly question - but was the grade of oil used in a P-47D engine different from that used in a B-17 or B-24.
The reason I ask is that the 405th FG had a lot of problems with oil contamination after refuelling at Halesworth on 13th May 44 for a fighter support mission. The Group was stood down for a week to rectify the damage. It is said that the USAAF investigators and the FBI were called in to investigate sabotage to the oil supply but as refuelling for the mission was done away from their base, it could have been a mistake in the grade of oil.
