THE ENGINE THAT WON WORLD WAR II - Jay Leno’s Garage.

 
 
With 1390 hp, Jay demonstrates the power and engineering of the Merlin 1650-1 engine that was the heart of the P-51 Mustangs and the Lancaster bombers in World War II.

David: Thank you very much for this video. I have always been interested in World War 2, and especially the air war. I still have several nice Diecast model planes from that era. You mentioned the use of the Merlin in the Lancaster and Mustang. Other famous planes using it were the Spitfire, Hurricane, and Mosquito.

Very cool.  Jay Leno is sure an interesting guy when it comes to automotive stuff.
