I'm still reading that Liberty 12 article. What blows me away about that engind, more than anything, is the time table. It took five days to design, a month to build, and another month to be tested and approved? That sounds insane by today's standards. Also, I wonder how distinct the shape of that V1710 is. I could almost swear I've seen the shape of that engine block somewhere, but not in relation to aircraft or boats.
