Seeing some of these WW2 engines apart or cutaways shows just how amazing and complex some of them were. All built amd designed in the 1940s or before by jand, no computers. The airplane museum in Sacramento has some awesome cutaway and disassembled engines in display. The ones with rotating vavles while having 12 cylinders or more and being radial (pratt and Whitney i believe it was) are mind boggling
Good presentation of the Merlin engine. Anything to promote our aero engine heritage is what our HAE group strives to achieve.
