Steam Plane
Received the following link via email from a friend. Hope ya'all don't mind
following links to get pics. ----Original Message---- 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!

Or -- maybe -- a Doble steam vehicle engine? The Beslar steam aircraft is identified elsewhere as being a Travelair 2000 powered by a _Doble_ engine. http://www.flysteam.co.uk/history.htm

That's because my fingers were faster than my intention. The link was sent in the mia culpa message right after the bad one. Its in the second message.
