What WW I aircraft used turbochargers?


Liberty V-12 in 1918, but never in combat.

TTBOMK, that wasn't used in an aricraft, but only tested on the
ground; I think it was on Pike's Peak.

I thought it was used in a Curtiss evolution of the Jenny...

The Liberty engine was, but I've never seen a referrence to a
turbocharged version being used in flight.
If you have a referrence, I'd like to see it. :-)

The last paragraph makes reference to the turbocharged Liberty V-12.

Great! Thanks!

By the way, I was wrong about the type of plane, and the reference I
remembered was in a book called something like, "Worst Aircraft Designs."
The Lusac, IIRC was included because it was meant to be a combination
fighter and recon aircraft, which had already been shown to be ineffective
in combat. That and the frozen eyeball thing...
