Problem: the variant section suggests the Gnome Rhone 14M and the Hispano-Suiza 12X were the same. The first was a twin row radial and the second a V-12.TSRL (talk) 20:11, 14 April 2013 (UTC) Both Green & Pollinger in World's Fighting Planes and Taylor in Jane's Encyclopaedia list engines, both stating the production 472 had the GR radial 14M, and also agreeing with each other on the 475/7/9 motors. Neither of these mention the HS 12X.TSRL (talk) 08:40, 15 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Srted, I thyink. There are slight disagreements between sources on the precise sub type of GR 14M and unsurprising variations in quoted powers, but no more. See Parmentier puts the 470 ff a little later, in Feb 1945.TSRL (talk) 09:54, 15 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
