Does anyone have a copy of ANA-BUL-152 "NUMBERS, SERIAL, AIRCRAFT ENGINE (INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSIGNMENT)" Earlier than the Revision K1 cancellation statement? Thank you in advance. Roger

Ikerus, There is a photo of a natural-metal A-24 here: Warbird Information Exchange ? View topic - Let's play "OK what is it?" It is postwar, of course. I also recall seeing a natural metal RA-24 in Putnam's McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft Volume 1. This was probably stripped of paint...

Joe, I think that what you have is an aircraft that was repaired in the field with the rudder from another aircraft. Joe Baugher shows: 42-7813/7852 Piper O-59/L-4 42-15159/15329 Piper O-59A/L-4A 42-36325/36824 Piper O-59A/L-4A 43-491/1470 Piper L-4B 43-29048/29246 Piper...

Shortround6, Porsche aero engines were used by the U.S. Navy as the O-95 series. They were used in the Gyrodene YRON-1 rotocycle, DSN-1/QH-50A, and DSN-2/QH-50B anti-submarine drones. The only information that I have is fragmentary and contradictory. YO-95-2 YRON-1 62 HP based on Type GP...

Hello all, I have posted several lists of U.S. military aircraft engine serials on my website: U.S. and German Military Aircraft Database, 100+ Years Worth Specifically here: U.S. Military Aircraft Database - Engines The lists are rather "threadbare", so any help would be welcome...

I have answered part of my own question. C-010 (C-10) and C-013 (C-13) are auxiliary power units. C-858-FJ and C-908-FJ appear to be the Air Force testing some Continental C-85-8FJ and C-90-8FJ fuel injection versions of the O-190-1 and O-205-1. I think that the N-1610 is just a fat-fingered or...

Jabberwocky, Of course you are correct. I was thinking of the XV-770-9 with mechanical supercharger. I did not know about the other proposal. Thank you. Wuzak, Thank you for the list. You are also of course correct about the XB-28A. I am trying to find out what the XF6F-2 would have...

Does anyone know the turbo supercharger model used or proposed in the following aircraft? Douglas A-20 (the first model - no suffix letter) Martin YB-10A North American XB-28/A Lockheed XC-35 Grumman XF6F-2 (R-2600 version) Boeing XP-4 Curtiss X/P-5 Boeing XP-12G Grumman XP-50...

Sorry about the long delay. I only returned home recently from being more than 500 miles away. Here is a picture of a prop from the Monogram B-24J. I hope it helps. I also added another B-24 prop photo that I saw at Greenville, SC. Roger

Jim, I collect military aircraft information, including engines. Se my website at: U.S. and German Military Aircraft Database, 100+ Years Worth. All Merlins have the following characteristics: Bore 5.4 inches, stroke 6 inches, compression ratio 6.0:1. The P-51 engines - V-1650-3,7,9 were...

I generally understand the basic Army/Navy piston aircraft engine designation system as applied from the late 1920s. Odd dash numbers 1, 3, 5... were Army ordered or developed engines. Even dash numbers 2, 4, 6... were Navy ordered or developed engines. This is simple enough. The Army engine...

I have found the Fairey Princess engine again. It was a 1000hp project for the Fairey FC-1 4-engine airliner. It appears to have been developed into the Monarch. PlaneTalk • View topic - Yeovilton Cobham Hall FAAM 25th October 2007 I tried on the AOMCI.org website to find out about the...

kmccutcheon, I have returned home. Your Chrysler Aircraft Engines book was awaiting me. Another excellent effort. Any hints as to your next project? Thank you. Roger

kmccutcheon, Thank you very much for the Ranger information. You probably know that an XH-1850-2 is in the NASM collection, so it made it at least to the prototype stage. Also, I see in the Fairchild Finding Aid http://airandspace.si.edu/research/arch/findaids/pdf/fairchild_finding_aid.pdf...

kmccutcheon, Thank you very much for the Jacobs information. Ranger V-920? Another new one to me. You are most welcome about the Tornado book. I am awaiting returning home to order your Chrysler book. Roger
