Had Fedden not spent so much time on the sleeve-valve, then perhaps a poppet-valve Hercules or Centaurus could have been available much sooner, and the story completely different.
Both the Hurc and Centaurus were sleeve valves. Are you saying they could have been re-designed with poppets?

The Soviets did not leave the P-39s stock (as shipped from the USA).
