Description
Whats better than looking at radial engines?Radial engines with lights in them!
I'd love to come back to this and reshoot with the lights off and a tripod. This will have to do for now.
Part of a series of images shot at the Strategic Air and Space Museum Nebraska. You can read about this aircraft and others on their website .

How the engine actually works can be a little "say what?". You can see why big engines these days tend to be V6/8/10 or 12 cylinders as much simpler.
