Hi crew,

I'm looking for three views or even some basic drawings about this aero engine. It was used in many planes, including B17's and some DC3 models.
I can only google some bad quality pictures.
Anyone got good reference material for this engine ??

(PS: not interested in the different enginedata like horsepowersettings just the visual aspect of it)

Regards

No 3 views but I'll look through my pics.
Here's one engine and installation, at least.

All the best

I recently bought this item which has great drawings. I guess they're the same Ron has:

PS. Different models of the same engine can look totally different sometimes. Be sure to check you got the right model.
