No more magnetos!

This is interesting. Note the Dolby boiler behind the engine. At the time,
the Stanley Steamer took about 20 minutes to heat up. Dolby had invented
the flash boiler, which was ready to go in a few seconds. Full steam power
took longer.

I wonder what the range could have been??

The Besler Steam Plane 1933 - the first (and probably only) plane which
successfully went into the air under steam power!
