He called them "Wright Oil Slingers", but they could take lots of battle damage and keep on running. One of his mechanics during the 1950s worked on B-29s in the Pacific with a way underpowered, very sophisticated radial- - - -he said very few of them returned form Japan with all the engines running, and even fewer made another mission without changing at least one engine. https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/wright-cyclone-gr-3350-radial-engine/nasm_A19670013000Jerry
