There were many others. The Brits [!] were among the best as far as
wringing the max HP per litre from aircraft engines. Check out the 60, 70
and 100 series 2 stage, 2 speed supercharged Merlins that put out a lot
more power from a lot less cubes the the DBs [not knocking the DBs, for
they had many interesting features like a variable speed supercharger,
direct injection into the cylinder, NOx injection etc] Then there was
Napiers and their H-12s and H-24 sleeve valve engines.
