Re: What's Your Favorite Rolls Royce?
Go ahead and talk to any old 8th AAF bomber crews and they'll agree on the Merlin. They were probably partial to the Wright Cyclone and Pratt&Whitney radials out on the wings but the thread is about RR.

The cars may be nice but there's nothing like the sound of the Merlin-powered Mustang coming across the airfield at 300 knots, ten feet off the runway.

Does anyone remember when the hydros were running the Merlins and Allisons?
Miss Budweiser ran Merlins before switching to the turbines.
