And one just for fun:
Really enjoyed the pics! Especially the O2 and OV10. Brought back some good memories and a couple of sad ones concerning some of the Covey riders and my own ride with one of those crazy FAC pilots in an O2 over the route between DaNang and Phu Bai. Thanks
Yep!! Back in the days of the Red Baron and I the fixed guns fired through the props, sometimes with undesired results. A timing system was made to stnch the props and the guns so the gun fired at the proper time.:D

Perfected by Anthony Fokker in 1915.
Did that work even if the engine was damaged so it still worked but didn't rotate at the proper rate? Danke danke (as usual :) )
