Seafire Manuals are up

I too would like to see something about the F7F Tigercat being it is in the same time frame

If you deal more with |super props| I would like to see you deal with the Grumman F7F, which seemed to have been developed early, but not really produced much, though it stuck around untill the Korean war.

While watching your Seafire video, I got the idea that the UK seemed much more fond of contra-rotating props than the US, or at least seemed to use them more all the way to production aircraft than the US did. Are there reasons for this? While viewing your treatment of Uk/US use of upright V-12 engines vs German use of invertive V-12s, a reason for the Germans might be that the use of the inverted engine leaves more room topside for machineguns in the nose of the aircraft, which they seemed to be partial to.

Hello Greg, thanks for posting these. On the last page of "RR-Griffon.pdf" article it mentions a Rolls-Royce inverted engine project which was shown to the German Technical Mission between the wars. I wonder if anyone has any further info about this?
