Merlin - The Engine that Won the War

Sounds like a bit of a bold claim that one engine helped change the course of WW 2 but when you see the evidence it has a lot validity but how did one little engine change the course of world events and become the engine that won the war. I would like to thank David Irwin of Historic Aero Engines not only for the generous use of his footage but as in checking over the script and finished video for technical accuracy.
