No, it has been there on the BF109, USAF Mustangs and RAF Spitfires
around 1944.
This story is more than 60 years old.

So, knowing how serious the military people are, this makes this story
likely to be true.

Independant suspensions, overhead camshafts, hemi heads and multivalve
systems were imagines in the thirties.
Even Citroen introduced unibody construction (without any chassis in
1934 on its Traction)

In the USA, you had to wait for Chrysler until 1969 to introduce
unibody.
You had to wait until the nineties before they decided to follow the
Europeans who were using overhead cams long before.

Now, how many people did try them ? Where are the serious reports
which a proper approach to study effects of magnetic fields on the
parafins ?

Everybody believe the same as you do, that is then a good reason to
try then.
