Amazing what is standing around in the landscape. This is a place for model pilots, there is a reference. The exhibit is intended to commemorate the crews of the downed planes in World War II.The engine itself is impressive with two rings for nine cylinders each. The English wiki page is quite informative (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_R-2800_Double_Wasp).
