Re: Unknown Cylinder Head Recovered from Freeman Field
I'm sure this is from a P&W R-2800. I've just broke down, cleaned, applied preservatives, and re-assembled over 20 of the 36 from Flak Bait's two R-2800 engines and it looks the same.

P&W had different manufacturers like Ford and GM make the engines so the stampings are from a manufacturer. Ford's is a clearly scrolled 'F' and I don't see that here.
