The Rolls Royce Merlin Engine powered the Spitfire, the Hurricane, the Mosquito, the Lancaster Bomber and the P51 Mustang. It was arguably the best engine of WW2. But when it first came into service, it was a disaster. This is the story of how Rolls-Royce developed and ultimately mass-produced the engine that helped the Allies dominate the skies.

The Second World War was a war waged not just by generals and frontline soldiers. It was fought also by scientists, engineers and inventors. The ability to marshal resources, to develop new war machines and weapons and to produce them swiftly and efficiently was the key to victory. WW2 was won not on the battlefield, but in the factories.
