At the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, one of the more interesting displays to me are a bunch of aircraft engines cut away so you can see how they operate.

It was interesting to me that the old V-12 etc. piston engines were far more complex than the jets.

What was always amazing to me was some of the Wright
radials that would still run missing a cylinder or TWO.
