What's better than one engine? TWO engines, of course.

Sometimes true...

Sometimes not...

Anyone going to fill in the stories?

Well, one did, the other would fry your boat.

The first, Fiat AS.6 V-24 2850HP used in the Macchi-Castoldi MC-72.

The second boat anchor looks like the DB610. Takeoff & emergency power approx. 2800-2950HP depending on which version.
Most commonly seen in the HE-177 Grief.

Mike

Well done Mike!

Macchi-Castoldi MC-72. Still holder of the absolute speed record for piston seaplanes.

Heinkel He 177. Not on fire, which is unusual. Pic Via Mark 12.
