  • The Rolls Royce Merlin in a Spitfire ( and Hurricane, and Lancaster and Mosquito) is supercharged. The Packard Merlin is a copy of the Rolls Royce original built to replace the Allison that orignally equipped the early Mustangs.

    Later Spitfires had the Griffon Engine and the very last model had a contra-rotating prop.

  • omg i have been to this air show every year since 2006 and it's great! and i live right near McArthur Airport ( i live in Oakdale) so every friday before the show i always get to see the jets and planes flying right over my house =]

  • I love the sound of the Mustang P-51D's engine!!! and I love the phase "To Berlin and back" and those glorious moments of the Tuskegee Airmen!!! My hat is off for all of those brave and courageous black pilots!!!! Just AWESOME !!!

  • When you're out of H-34's, you're out of helicopters...

  • these are the planes at the museum I work at... The American Airpower Museum!! I'm proud to be a volunteer there. People should come down and see these planes up close!!

    TTYL,

    Dave

  • the different make the propellers and spinners!

    they are completely different from each other!

    the sound you most hear is the propeller and the enginesound is more in the background, which is similar at both planes!

    Packard and Rolls Royce Merlins are the same!

    they are just manufactured by other companies.

    Packard for the USA and Rolls Royce for Britain.

    I hope I could help you!

  • Im sorry, I think I marked spam instead of reply.... Is the Spirfire's Merlin superchaged? You can nearly always tell if a CAR is supercharged by that same whistle sound. Maybe that whistle is coming from the P-51's supercharger?

  • The P-51A had an allison engine similar to those in the P-40, P-39, and others. The B/C and D models were fitted with the Packard Merlin engine.

    The P-51A had a 3 blade prop, B/C and D had 4 blade. Early spits had 3 blade, most had 4, very late spits had 5 blade props.

  • The older ones were actually slightly faster..

  • Great camera work!!! It is hard to capture these planes on video. We have airshows every year in Michigan, but never such a great assortment of piston WWII aircraft! Awesome! Thank you!!!!
