Wright Cyclone
GR-3350

The Wright R-3350 radial engine was used on the Boeing B-29 during World War II. Rushed into service, the engine had many difficulties, including overheating. Later improvements included replacement of the carburetors, typified by this version, with fuel injectors used in later
B-29s, such as the Enola Gay.
