Default Allison W24

There were several other V12s in WWII aircraft and later used in boats.

Packard and Allison come to mind.

The Packards were common in WWII PT boats.

I think Allison made W16, which had 4 banks of cylinders. I just saw some in
an old warehouse that belonged to a retired competition hydro boat builder.

Allison also made a W24. This was two V12s joined by a common gearbox.
No idea what they were used in. There's a picture of one in the book
Michigan Madman, by C.J. Potter. He used them (V12 and W24) in pulling
tractors.
