Now Ma pay attention,

The Flathead is a side-valve, Vee configured, eight cylinder gasoline engine of world renown. Apart from various cars, it can be found in all Ford CMPs, Universal Carriers, T16's, Atkinson Alligators and other industrial applications.

In 1962 I had the priviledge of obtaining an A and B certificate of gliding proficiency being launched into the air many times by the Flathead powered glider winch. Attached.
