GeeRam,
A very palpable hit ! Mea Culpa ! Obsessed with my own problems "Up the Jungle", I quite forgot the little contretemps in the N. African desert which was going on at the same time.
Only connection with Allisons in our neck of the woods would be Col. Claire Chennault's "Flying Tigers". And, post-war, our original AN-CPN4 GCA kit came with an Allison powered generator set, but I was told we couldn't afford the spares for it, so had to send the Allisons back and put in a rotary converter from our domestic supply instead (much quieter, anyway).
Thanks for the correction !
Danny.
