I thought it was great except for two glaring errors. In one sentence he talks
about the tendency of the big radials to "stall without warning" I was too young for WW II, but a few years later I spent some 800 hours sitting between two PW R-2800s, the "big radial" of WW II, and I never had one "stall," or quit for any reason other than I shut it down. I did have one "blow a jug" but it I could still get 36 inches of MP and 2400 RPM, which we considered "climbing power." Some, such as in P-47s on strafing missions, took a lot more damage than that but kept running. A hell of a good engine! vince norris |
