Never said I liked it or disliked it. Just said it looked smooth. But
it ain't a B-17 without a radial engine!

Right, it's a XB-38!

BTW, does anyone know if were
there any land or sea applications for the radial motor or was it all air?

American tanks used radial engines for a while.
There was a small radial used for a ground generator, a guy
was looking for information about that one here not long back.
Back in the really long ago days I think there was even a radial
engined motorcycle, but don't place a bet on it based on my
say so.
