(The only WW-II 5 cylinder radial I recall was the APU for the B-24 (I
think). A fellow here built a homebuilt and used one as the engine.
It had not been out of its crate since WW II. But it looked brand
new. Took a good hour to start the first time (carburetor set up), but
after that it was a champ)


The B-24 used a 14 cylinder R1830 Twin Wasp.

I was talking about the _APU_ for the B-24.
