Except they didn't have jet fuel during WW2; Jet-A and Jet-B weren't developed until the 1950s. Jet-A (sensible people don't use Jet-B except in polar regions) also has different lubricating properties than diesel fuel, requiring different fuel handling pumps.For worries about gelling, using jet fuel would be the way to go for an aircraft diesel engine.
