Only WW1  era rotary engines such as the Gnome Rhone had the cylinders
rotating  around a fixed crankshaft with the propeller bolted to the block.

the WW2 radials, such as the Wright Cyclone R2600 and Pratt and Whitney  Twin
Wasp R2800 were conventional in that the engine block was stationary  and the
crankshaft rotated inside it.

BTW there's a LeRhone on display over at NAS Pensacola, or at least there  
was before the storms 2 years ago. The Naval Air Museum is a must-see for anyone 
 with any interest in military aviation.
