Sig
Yea, it is a Paraphrase of What your chief says and I adopted it (and the bit about make and model) in my sig as a tribute to SoCalDriver, who helped me out of a couple of tough spots. It is not too surprising that a Lot of us have a background in aviation. It takes a certain kind of person to work on these cars.
XLR: Yes, Dr Ferdinand Porsche was in the Kubelwagen project One of the few openly discussed efforts of the time. During the war the project was given low priority and allocated a small amount of manpower and resources. After the war It turned out that literally Thousands of engineers claimed to have worked there. If YOU worked in a factory that made ME-109s, or Stuka dive bombers, what would YOU put on YOUR resume? The Engineers who designed the cars and the systems were decidedly experienced and German. Exactly where they worked and what they did is not really clear as in Deutchland people try not to speak of "the Natzi time" It is a cultural thing. BMW was an aircraft company, the spinning prop logo is just that.
The v-12 engine in my jag is a scaled down Merlin fighter engine as well. A LOT of work went into designs and research for speed. Decades later it trickled down into the auto industry.
