Dragsters and airplane engines. Anyone?? Empty Dragsters and airplane engines. Anyone??

Cincy Ohio Gearheads. I received a PM asking me about a guy in Western Cincy that has dragsters that owns an old airplane engine. The engine is a V-12 water cooled Ranger. The gentleman wanting the info is 91 years old and raced airplanes and had a helicopter school. He is simply wanting some info on the engine and the story about how he got it and such. They have a get together once a month over at the museum at Lunken for Aviation Heritage Society. Anyone know this guy or any info on how to get a hold of him?

S'pose it could be Rolls Royce as well... hope they get their contact info as needed. The key to success- NETWORKING!

It was only like 15 minutes of posting it on Facebook and a guy chimed in and said what his name was and said to pm him for the guys numbers. Pretty cool.
