Packard’s contribution to the war effort from 1940-1945 cannot be overstated. The Packard Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine and PT boat marine engines powered America and its allies to victory in Europe and the Pacific. Learn about what it took to ramp up military production, and the heroic efforts of Packard’s engineers and the employees who designed and built the engines that helped win the war.
