Jeesh! You gonna spend the whole day correcting me?? I think you knew
what I meant. So what kind of radials and made by whom? Same folks?


I've seen Lycoming mentioned but the first Shermans had a Continental R974
C4, a 9 cylinder radial aircraft engine. Later ones were diesel powered.

The radial engined M3A3 Stuart was produced by American Car and Foundry
during Sept 1942 till Sept 1943. Of 3427 produced, 2433 went to the Allies
receiving Lease Lend (mainly to Britain but some to China), the rest to the
US Army. Powered by a 7-cylinder Continental radial power unit, the tank
weighs 32,400 lbs ready to fight.
