Original Pratt & Whitney engine data plate from an R-2800-44 Double Wasp radial engine, the powerhouse used in iconic WWII fighters including the F4U Corsair and F6F Hellcat. This authentic manufacturer’s plate would have been mounted directly to the engine and contains stamped model and specification information.
The R-2800 Double Wasp was one of the most successful and formidable radial engines of World War II, powering U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aircraft in both Pacific and Atlantic theaters.
Condition: Original vintage plate with honest age and patina. Strong legibility and excellent display appeal. Not a reproduction.
A rare and highly desirable piece of WWII naval aviation history — perfect for warbird collectors, Corsair or Hellcat enthusiasts, radial engine historians, or military aviation displays.
