Water injection was for real in the aviation industry in military
aircraft during WWII. The Navy's Corsair fighter was one that had it.
Thee were others, as well. The water injection saved many a pilot's butt
when in combat by allowing for higher horsepower output. I don't know it
did anything for gas mileage, however. By injecting water into the
engine for additional cooling, the engine could be made to produce
higher  power during times of need. It really worked, but like I said,
didn't do a thing for mileage.
