Does your number "...102,907 single-engine pilots..." include P-38, P-61, and P-70 pilots?

The B-25 strafers flew a lot of missions in WWII PTO at less than 50 feet, so I'd go there. Reliable with range, power, lift & room for new weapons as needed.

Heater for the engine.

I know it's been a while, but there is this display in the USAF Museum at Dayton Ohio;

Hope this helps for future endeavors: http://www.enginehistory.org/References/ModDesig/jpg/moddesig.shtml If you got to the engine entries, you'll find the aircraft that the engine models were used in; see attached for early Allisons as an example.
