I liked the video, but I wish there had been a real comparison to period 4 engine bombers say in 1937 and 1943. But I know the numerous engine changes have to make performance comparisons difficult.

is there a bomber or fighter that more different engines fitted to it in ww2?

Hawk 75,81,87 is a strong contender.
Including Prototypes it used 4 different radials and two different V-12s.
Depending on how you count the Allison with and without turbos you may be able to stretch that bit ;)
Granted two of the radials were in the mid 30s.
