Hi all, I am new to here and I would like to get help to sort out what engine is this.
Friend of mine living in Japan who has small grape field has dug out a rusted WW2-era aircraft engine 5 months ago, with several other metal fragments from same era.
Engine's condition is not so good, rusted and many parts are lost. There are no factory mark on the engine itself.
The engine is suspected to be a Radial engine, and the field where engine has been dug out was used to be one of the biggest IJA's airfield in Osaka.
My friend and I really would like to know what is this engine, and hope that anyone can help to sort this out.
P.S. In the same time, B-29's AN/M2 from tail gun turret has been dug out in the same place.
