No, no, no. The Hercules engine is (as is well-known) a 14-cylinder
sleeve-valve radial.

(Lets see what Tarver makes of that.)

That is a lot of sparkplugs.

Hell John, not near as many as in a C-124...there's 216 in
that!...

My father spent the first few years of WWII changing spark plugs.

Was that before or after he was in the 101st in Bastogne?

He was bored changing spark plugs, so he volenteered for the 101st.

He wasn't bored anymore.
