I've loved radials since I was a little kid and I heard my first radial fire up.

Back in the day they use to base A26 water bombers at the local airport during the summer. I miss those beautiful old birds.

That's child's play.

At the Hill AFB museum they have a cutaway of a R-4360.  4 rows. 28 cylinders.  Thousands of moving parts.   It's pretty crazy to think they designed and built something that complex with a drafting table and pencil.   Long before the days of CAD and CNC milling.
