Engine & how they packed them for storage/transport WWII
The engine storage hangar at Fantasy of Flight has a about 150 old
engines... WWI and WWII mostly. This is how they were crated/shipped (I believe the guide said this was an engine out of an F-4U Corsair. Anyway... the engine is mounted onto this barrel as you can see. another barrel is lowered over the engine and bolted to the lower half barrel. Then they simply rolled them on/of transports, boats, etc... pretty ingenious.

I would think they'd be able to do this with radial engines, but in-line engines would be conventional crates.

I would think they'd be able to do this with radial engines, but in-line engines would be conventional crates. You could put the in-lines in a longer narrower barrel... The metal case is water/fluid tight and will stack just like petrol drums. Mr. Bill Please take out the DAWGS for e-mail adress
