the argument was if the FTH depends on the density altitude or the pressure altitude
First of all there was no argument. You are the sole voice of discontent. The engine sees density.

FTH depends on density altitude. Only in an engine equipped with a density controller will it reflect just pressure altitude. AFAIK, they did not have them in WWII.

If a turbo engine is rated at 310 HP up to 18,000', the altitude specified is pressure altitude?


False, the altitude specified is density altitude
