Why I dredge up these arcane subjects from the depths of my memory is beyond me, but here goes....
I remember reading in WWII aviation novels ("A Yank in the RAF", etc.) that in order to escape a pursuing ME-109, the pilot would inject water into the cylinders of his engine.
Possible? Impossible? Pure fabrication?
If it's real, what's the principle involved?
(Cripes! The things I lose sleep over!)
