The engine belongs to the EAA in Oshkosh Wisconsin, I was just a bystander watching the demonstration. The engine belongs to a spitfire that they have in their museum! It’s a late 1930s Allison V-1710 v12 engine producing about 1000 horsepower. I’m not sure if they will put a propeller on it but it sure would be cool if they did!

I had two Allison 1710 cu. In. Engines, back in the mid 70's One was right handed rotation, the other left. One was from a P-39, and didn't have the reduction gear on the engine. The other was probably from a P-38 twin engine fighter, because it was the opposite rotation engine. I would start the P-39 engine in my shop about once a month, "just to keep the fluids fresh". It was the hit of all the shops around, and would shut them all down until I put the engine to bed. Great fun, and a memorable experience.

​@@YaFatima-x9rsadly, I no longer have them. I wish I did. It was 50 years ago, and a lot of life has happened since. They are very impressive, considering the technology of the time. Roller rockers, sodium filled valves, 48-valve engine, and much more. The British Rolls Royce 1650 cu. in. Counterpart was just as good, but had a 2 stage blower which gave it more power and higher altitude capability.

​@DoctoreE644 I've heard that many of the Merlins still around are running Alison rods. Apparently Allison engines had some pieces that were better engineered. Unfortunately they made the supercharger too small--that was why they were unable to keep up with other single- stage, single- speed supercharged aircraft at the beginning of the war. And then I think Allison just didn't have the cash to develop better compressor technology, and was largely left behind. Obviously turbochargers worked with it, but WWII turbochargers were huge things and only fit in multi- engine planes or big fat fuckers like the P 47.

Somewhere out here, there's and old vid from the 40's about special characteristics of the plane. I showed my Dad that vid and he loved it. It talked about holding the brakes on takeoff and getting the superchargers up to a certain RPM. Dad kind of joked that was all BS! You just got to know the feel of the plane and the motors and you KNEW when to let go of the brakes. Later, they show how to shut off one engine and fly that way. Dad was like.....that's nothing. I lost an engine over the alps and flew back to Italy that way. Joked he could probably still fly that plane with an hours instruction, it was so simple and solid. One downfall, it couldn't fly inverted for more that a few seconds, didn't have the right oil pump system.

My high school in 1968 Estancia High school in Costa Mesa ,California had an Allison engine on a stand. This engine was in the "Power Mechanics" class. Power mechanics was a more advanced "auto shop". We would fire it up a couple times a year, and the whole school would come out to watch! We also has a 4 cyl boxer 2 cycle drone engine with a propeller attached. No guard around prop. Nowadays that would never be possible. Only way to start ,was to hand crank with prop.

As someone dealing in racecar engines these sound so tame. They are not designed to turn high rpm or have much static compression so are tame. But do a very good job in a aeroplane when using 20-30 lbs of boost at higher altitudes. It does sound a touch sharper though than Meteor tank engines with no superchargers that I have heard in tanks recently. But it has no fan!!

Pretty engine! Guess it's a similar unit as powered the mighty WW2 era American Kittyhawk. Flown by a couple of Australian squadrons in the Battle of Milne Bay and the defense of Port Moresby. Australia owes a lot to that aeroplane, the people that designed and built it, the industrial power that churned them out and the government that allowed Australia to use them. Thankyou USA.

From the Wright Brothers 2 cylinder motor, to this in less than 40 years, but it was not just the engine. It was metallurgy, machining and machine tools, lubricating oils, high octane fuels, and thousands and thousands who developed the skill sets needed to create these mechanical works of art, none of which existed or only existed in rudimentary form or just thoughts in someones head. People say computers made quantum leaps in technology, but that pales in comparison to all the elements that had to come together to create these engines and the planes they went in. Now, picture this engine in a shot up aircraft approaching the ground at a steep angle, traveling at several hundred miles an hour, and it instantly being turned into pieces of scrap, and maybe a disabled 21 year old pilot who could not bail out, who a couple years earlier was in school and maybe driving a tractor working on his daddy's farm, becoming one with that scrap. That is the real price of war.

It looked as though they were building oil pressure via leaving the inertia starter clutch engaged with the ignition off.

Hadn't thought of that but registers true. Many of those ww2 aero engines had an oil pressure priming system they'd start with pressure oil already pumped up. IIRC, the Merlin had that and the big radials as well.

In general, this is why pilots had a checklist turn on the fuel turn on the magneto. Make sure the battery was up to par.🤔
