Do a Google Images search on "Anzani Engine" to see some similar
configurations. I did not see a 6-cylinder of this type, but there is a 3-cylinder (among other oddities like 6 and 10 cylinder radials). David Johnson |

My thoughts exactly---one bank looks smaller than the others--but that might be the viewpoint--Incidentally, there were quite a few "W" configured engines made just after WW-I ---Jerry |

What you have in the picture, seems to be a French Lorraine 12 Ed aircraft
engine, circa year 1922. It is a liquid-cooled W-type engine (yes, 60+60=120 degrees most probably), but instead of 6-cylinder configuration, it's a 12-cylinder layout (believe or not). Capacity 24,4 litres, dry weight 425 kg. Power output 450 hp. Check out this link. It has a picture of the engine. http://www.planes-and-tanks.com/EngineShop/lorraine.htm "Montblack" kirjoitti ...
