I think the negative is reversed. Looks like adaptation made to an american car so a rural mail carrier has the controls on the correct side for delivery

You are right, you can see the needles on the gauges are on the right (wrong!) side.
Smell report please Lil doggo!
I remember that. The mail man at my grandfathers house drove a car like that, only opposite.He bought it as a kit
Actually had a man come into my ER with Super Glue in his eyes. He was a middle-aged guy, who had a small table next to his easy chair. The table had the usual assortment of junk. He reached while watching a game on TV, and thought he had his eye drops. Instead he put two drops of cyanoacrylate into each eye, and glued them shut. Competely.
Admittedly, I was a bit outside my scope of experience, so I talked to the Ophthalmologist in the big city. He said, "Happens here about once or twice a week." His advice was to just leave them glued shut, until the body eventually replaced the skin cells lining the eyelid margins. He suggested it takes between 3-7 days. He also advised that trying to remove or dissolve the glue in any manner resulted in unacceptable damage. Eventually, that was the way it turned out. He called in sick for three days, and was eventually able to open his eyes, and peel the flaking remainders of the glue off the margins himself. No damage to the eyes themselves, at all.
Dumb shit.
I have a cousin that did the same thing. He stopped after the first eye, though.
I was gluing pads the brackets for the fuel tanks on a semi once. They keep the metal from wearing through the tank. The first one I started at the top and worked toward the bottom. Before i got there the top fell off, and put a bunch of super weather strip adhesive in hair. That took a while to wear out.
Even someone who wears a flat billed hat, ought to be able to figure that out.
In a 52D that was probably loaded with LOTS of fuel (and water) to take off with. Those old nukes weren't small... or light.
Plus, the potential crap he was facing was probably not a fun prospect either.
Did I specifically mention the P-63? No. I wasn't going to spend the time to shred every piece of FAIL that came out of your post.
Hey you, FUCKWIT, why don't YOU do some research (besides wiki that gets a lot wrong on WWII aircraft) before making STUPID, IGNORANT posts.
Good God what a moron you are.
Try wwiiperformance.net next time to see how marvelous your post was.
Let's start with the early Mustang. It was an A-36 Apache. (Not an A10 as you said) It ran an Allison. The P-51A.... Allison. They fit just fine thank you. The aircraft was designed around that engine. None of that "too big" horseshit you posted. They didn't go to the Merlin until later and it wasn't because of fit, but high altitude performance and better fuel economy.
The P-63 was the final iteration of the P-39. The P-39 was originally designed to use a turbocharger. That idea was abandoned for a myriad of reasons. Availability, politics and poor CoG amongst them.
And then that rich statement about we didn't use those fancy turbochargers or superchargers. Most all of the engines used forced induction of one sort or another. On edit, neither of those two (p-39, p-61) ever reached the performance goals they were after. Allies generally used the aircraft in secondary theaters because they just weren't that good. They lost performance over 12,000 feet or so. Only the Soviets liked them and then only in ground attack roles. Even they often replaced the Allison with their Klimov engines.
Why don't you go and put on your little beach ball beanie with the propeller on it and go sit in the corner for awhile. Dunce.
And stop making stupid posts.
Jesus H Christ.... you can't even spell "fuckwit" properly and you want to lecture me on a subject you clearly know nothing about.
What's next? Are you going to post some chart you found and tell Frank he doesn't know about long range shooting?

My uncle told me the P39... Aircobra? Had the drive shaft for the propeller run between the legs of the pilot from the engine. Is that true?
This is why I keep viewing this thread.....Thank you.
Yes, true. The design was a mid fuselage mount for the engine as well as a huge 37mm cannon fired through the prop hub.

Well, I did what the sign said...
OK, actually, she didn't poop. I just thought it would be funny.

Neither one of you is a fuckwit. There's just a world of differences in increments of progression of improvements in aircraft produced. Yeah, he's right, the V-1710-135 was used in the P-63 King Cobra. It's not just a single stage supercharger, it had that and a turbocharger. As you mentioned Soulezoo, politics (and ignorance) played a big part in not further developing more increase in power to gain performance. A lot with the V-1710. The P-37 was one of the original variants of what was to become the P-40. It had a supercharger, but it was canned as the War Department saw "no need" for it. People talk like the P-40 was a POS because it didn't have high altitude performance. It could have, but the powers that be shut it down without having any idea of what we really needed. Add to the fact the "Bomber Mafia" was in charge and shut down a LOT of good ideas, because they didn't think we needed it. Kind of ironic they got duped into thinking they were the 'schnitza' when in reality, the commanding generals of WWII used them as bait to draw German fighters up.
In any case, there is a world of information people need to look up before posting on what aircraft had what in WWII. Two of the best resources I've found are "Jane's: WWII Aircraft" and "JG26-Top Guns of the Luftwaffe" (chronological account of what was used where and what against). The JG-26 book also gives the German account of Robert S. Johnsons narrow escape from death from the German side. ("Thunderbolt")
Progress was made so fast in WWII, it just boggles the mind. We went from open cockpit 1000 hp engined aircraft to pressurized 3000 hp engined aircraft in that time. You really have to break down which variant you are talking about along with which engine it was fitted with.
Absolutely the progression of Aviation Technology grew by Leaps and Bounds during World War II. I'd love to see that dedication two growth in the same industry using current technology. Well, sort of ... I'd like to see the advancement of sixties technology using unconventional propulsion actually take a foothold
well, at least she has some ammo!!!!
It was posted today and she knows is about 2 days behind most events. Watch his twitter feed quite a few bombs have already been dropped since the 5th of January.
