How much power did mass production versions of the 14R engine produce as of June 1940?

[Shortround6]

I don't think there were ANY mass produced 14R engines as of June of 1940.

I do think the fact that in 3-4 years of work AFTER the war ended and using 100/130 fuel which did not exist in 1940 the Gnome-Rhone company or it's successor was not able to reach the power "claimed" for the 14R at altitude in 1940 says a lot about that "Claim".

That wraps it up nicely.

It appears the 1940 MB.157 fighter aircraft was about as real as the 1940 Eastern Bunny.
