Most people reading this thread would have assume that you were referring to the Fleet Air Arm, which was a operator of Merlin engines.
Of course it turns out that you are referring to the USA's Federal Aviation Agency...
and trying to roll out civil aviation accident stats to support some kind of argument regarding the Battle of Britain and the use of supercharged engines in combat...!!!!

Maybe you have this confused with a MFS forum?
