New P-40 video is up.
I put up a new video. It should be viewable about an hour after I put up this notice. It's not public yet. The link can be found below:

Greg, as an Australian I'd like to thank you for the complimentary remarks about the RAAF. That's very much appreciated.
Can`t watch :-(
I think that's because you tried to watch it during the two hour period before it went public. Sorry about that.
Thanks Greg, Great to have a vid about the P-40. I can only imagine how challenging it would have been to maintain them in New Guinea or North Africa and that’s why I love them. No glamour, just effective under trying conditions.
Just rumor? But I have heard from the Unlimited Hydroplane community that Allison has a more robust cylinder or piston bore design than the Merlin. Something to do with the Merlin being rigid and resistant to twisting forces under large boost pressures than the Allison. Feeble memory, enjoyed the video as always.
Thanks Greg.
Greg, great content as always. Moral, you can't compare two aircraft made at different times and for different purposes. I can't find the Ricardo book. Is that only at the captain level or am I just missing it? Thanks.
It's in the research 1 folder. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1bgfmcl2m1n_qFbe1H6DA6z1NLjfyCUL6
