Sherman tank

[Bob Core]

Engine start on youtube of a WWII Sherman, powered by a Continental 9-cylinder aircraft radial engine. Interesting to hear a radial that's not laden with the inertia of a propeller:

Links to other good videos pop-up as well. One is of a Ford GAA V8 tank engine; 1100 cid, 32-valve, OHC, built in the early 1940s.

Ah yes, the Continental R-975. As I recall it was also used on some twin Beech (C-45) and BT-13/15 trainers.:clap
