I know that people are playing with that today, but was it really used in aviation back then? Diesel powered aircraft were tried during the 1930s, but not particularly successful. Giuseppe Bellanca (at least) tried one or more versions but none made it past the "experimental" stage. There were no naval aircraft that I know of that used diesels. There is one modern company in Austria producing them. Go to http://www.diamondair.com/contentc/TwinFlies.htm Bill Kambic
