Never said I liked it or disliked it. Just said it looked smooth. But
it ain't a B-17 without a radial engine! BTW, does anyone know if were
there any land or sea applications for the radial motor or was it all air?



The Sherman tank used a radial engine. Sikorsy helicopters used a
radial (Wright 1820 like the B-17). Radials were used to power
generators.


Thanks Dale!!
