Editing Allison V-1710 (section)

==Post-war==

The V-1710-powered F-82 did not arrive in time for World War II, but did see brief action in the [[Korean War]], although the type was completely withdrawn from Korea by the end of 1950. It had a short service life that was probably due to a combination of factors: poor reliability from the G-series V-1710 engines, low numbers of F-82s produced, and the arrival of jet fighters. The initial production P-82B had Merlin engines, but North American was forced to use the Allison V-1710 for the E/F/G models when Rolls Royce required a "Royalty" of $6,500.00 per engine and the U. S. Government stopped buying the Merlin engine because of the excessive cost.

In total, 69,305 V-1710s were built by Allison during the war, all in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]].<ref>Gunston 2006, p. 7</ref>
