Yes she was. Nice to see someone that knows of her. Oddly when the P-51 first came out with the RR Merlin it didn't do very well at high altitudes until a guy (who's name I can never remember) who worked for Packard came up with a simple and easy solution. One of those times when the last person you expected to have the answer fixed things.
