No more magnetos!

This is interesting. Note the Dolby boiler behind the engine. At the time,
the Stanley Steamer took about 20 minutes to heat up. Dolby had invented
the flash boiler, which was ready to go in a few seconds. Full steam power
took longer.

I wonder what the range could have been??

The Besler Steam Plane 1933 - the first (and probably only) plane which
successfully went into the air under steam power!

That's because my fingers were faster than my intention. The link was sent
in the mia culpa message right after the bad one. Its in the second
message.

Dolby boiler? Or -- maybe -- a Doble steam vehicle engine?
The Beslar steam aircraft is identified elsewhere as being a Travelair 2000
powered by a _Doble_ engine.
