PROPULSION-Reciprocating & Rotary
A Mitsubishi 14 cylinder engine. There is limited information in the records with regards to this file, but a letter dated July 18, 1969 states that the artifact was loaned and subsequently sent directly to the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL. from the Navy. NASM never had a chance to catalog it or photograph it and therefore even basic information such as serial numbers are missing.
The Naval Aviation Museum has been contacted and has no records regarding this engine.
