Thanks Brandon nd tony and everyone else. I am trying to update the USAAF powerplants section http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/UR ... lants.html

and will be adding types as I come across them. Feel free to submit pictures and especially technical information on these types. In the near future british types will be covered and the Luftwaffe powerplants will be modernized.

Meanwhile feel free to check out the Fighter and transport main indexes which illustrate the new format and for an example of the new powerplant use check out the C-54 entry http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/UR ... aster.html which in the engine section will link to the appropriate page for the engine. Let me know what you think of the new format.

I like the new format Scott. I have a suggestion though. You are doing an excellant job of creating the new structures, but has the only guy doing the work it is a low bandwith job. Perhaps some kind of button on these pages that allow submissions of the specific data on that page, the data you are looking for. It might save you some time looking it up as people provide info as they surf by. Something similar might work as well in the individual registry entries. Once you give the info a review to make sure it isn't out of this world wrong it would be a relatively simple cut and paste into the appropriate web page. No? Just trying to think outside the box here in some way that would make your task more simple.

Regards,

Mike

P&W R-1535 (very rare!):

Wright R-2600:

"Snap Cap" R-1340:

Another Allison:

Merlin V-1650-1:

P&W R-2800-39:

Wright R-3350:

Wright Whirlwind?:

Curtiss Conqueror?:
