Maytag Messerschmitt
Interesting reference. One reference book on the shelf has the P-51 dubbed with the name. Explanation given it was because the Maytag Washing Machine Company had broad experience with intricate aluminium castings and they provided the castings for the Merlin engine. One WWII pilot had his P-51 named "Woody's Maytag". Wonder what the truth is?
A Maytag produced aluminum casting for the Packard Merlin crankcase
