***************
On several of the WWI vintage aircraft the engine did indeed rotate.  First
time I heard it I didn't beleive it either.  Sopwith Camels and Sopwith Pups
were the planes that I recall hearing about it.

I recently saw some old film on TV that made it very clear that the entire
engine rotated.  Must have tremendous gyroscopic reactions.
