If you ever see a radial engine they will always have an odd number of
cylinders. Now if you
remember back a few pages that one of the aircraft had an 18 cylinder
radial engine, it's really two 9 cylinder
engines (double-row) that make the power.

This is a F7F Tigercat fighter/bomber that has two Pratt & Whitney 18
cylinder engines which makes 2100 horsepower dry and 2400 horsepower
with water injection (this type of water injection is still used by some
hot rod cars today).

Some of the nose art on aircrafts look pretty cool and
there are books full of different types from as far back as World War 1.
If you're into vintage aircraft they would make for some good reading.
