Aircraft Starter Truck

DAYTON, Ohio -- The Aircraft Starter Truck on display in the Early Years Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. As aircraft engines gained in power and size, the difficulty and danger involved in starting an engine by "swinging the prop" increased dramatically. The idea of developing a mechanical means of starting an aircraft engine was first conceived by Capt. B.C. Huck, a test pilot for the Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (AIRCO) of Great Britain.(U.S. Air Force photo by Ty Greenlees)
