Radial Aircraft Engine on Maintenance Stand, Removed for Overhaul

Radial Aircraft Engine on Maintenance Stand, Removed for Overhaul

A radial aircraft engine, removed from its airframe for overhaul, sits on a maintenance stand in a hangar. Engines like this powered the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, and their periodic removal for inspection and rebuild was a routine but labor-intensive part of keeping these aircraft flight-ready.
