Allison V-1710-27 Engine Restoration

Joe Bok and his team took great pride in restoring this Allison V-1710-27 engine. This engine traces its history back to a starboard engine mount on a Lockheed P-38 Lightning during 1943. Previously removed from a P-38 during the war and shipped back to the United States for overhaul on December 31st, 1943. An incredible piece of American history that has survived the years to be brought back to life once again.

 

Valve cover removed to show the cool overhead 4-valve per cylinder design. P-39 Exhaust Stacks are just for looks!

Aero Telemetry's WWI Kettering Bug full size replica

Initially commissioned for a History Channel Television Show commemorating the 100^th Anniversary of the start of World War I, the full-size replica of the Kettering Bug will now be the subject of an intense one-hour TV documentary that will feature the various aspects of the airplanes design, it’s secretive military history, the famous people behind the development, and the airplane’s contribution to the advancement of early aviation technology.

The background and technical details of the Kettering Bug have been meticulously researched for historical accuracy and re-designed with many of the same materials and techniques that were used to build the original. In commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of WWI, this amazing full-size replica is being prepared for its first flight by Joe Bok and his Aero Telemetry Team. 

Hollywood Takes to the Air Event

Aero Telemetry was honored to have their Hughes H-1 Racer on display in the front lobby of The Academy's Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood two weeks ago.
