Default Hawai Airport Piston Engine indentification question ...

Definitely a double-row unit. Just look carefully at the ignbition leads
where they come off the mainn. A pair to the front cylinder, then a pair to
the rear - - count them, and you'll go for an 18-cylinder setup (Oh yeah, I
relize we can't see ALL of them, but from top to bottom of one side - looks
abought right ?)

someone identify this radial aeroplane piston engine?

Looks like a 9-cylinder Wright R-1820 Cyclone (G?) rather severely cut-
away.

(wouldn't bet the farm on it tho')

definitely looks like a 9 cylinder cylinder single row radial....

if the OP thought the radial link was interesting look at
