This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I am searching for the approximate diameter of a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engine, used on a B-24J. Not the cowling dimensions, just the actual engine. The figure I seek need not be accurate to the inch. This is for an engine identification at a crash site in Burma.
Thanks, experts.

The P&W Twin Wasp R-1830 series engines were 48.13 inches (1.222 meters) in diameter.

Walt,
A precise answer -- the best I could have hoped for. Thanks for looking that up...unless you're a numbers kind of guy with easy recall of such facts.

Can't take credit for a good memory. Info came from the 1945 edition of Jane's All the World's Aircraft.
