The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) preference for turbosuperchargers early in the program meant that less effort was spent on developing suitable mechanically-driven, centrifugal superchargers, and when smaller or lower-cost versions of the engine were desired, they generally had poor performance at higher altitudes. The V-1710 nevertheless gave excellent service when turbosupercharged, notably in the P-38 Lightning, which accounted for much of the extensive production run."@en }
