Jacobs engines were fitted to many US-built aircraft of the inter-wars period, including several Waco models. They were in use in 26 different countries as well as requested by the Canadian Government in 1940 to provide the Jacobs 330 horsepower L6-MB engines for their Avro Anson Mk. II aircrafts .
In 1941 the American War Department gave the contract to Jacobs to produce their Pratt & Whitney R-985 and R-1340 engines until 1945 .
