[Spridgets] Aviation piston engine question - No LBC

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

Many years ago at RAF Brize Norton a vintage (WW2 era I guess) US piston  
engine flew on.  Engine note sounded like a vee-8 dragster at idle.  I  
mentioned this to a guy in the office this week who is a bit of an aviation buff  
and he said it must be a radial because there were no US twin or 4 engined 
WW2  era aircraft with a vee8 engine.  Who's wrong - him or my ears?

Lots of aerial engine stuff on youtube.

You're not "bombing" the list with stuff like  this.
