Your best source for engines is WW1 Aero. I believe (please correct
me if I'm wrong) that the E.III used an Oberursel, 9 cylinder?? Let
me know exactly what type of engine, and I'll look up the issue for
you. Although I haven't put the engines into my database (maybe
now's a good time to start) I can look through the WW1 Aero indexes.

If Steve did live closer, then you can forget about any awards!:-)
Seriously, Steve is a wonderful person, and worth getting to know.
You have met him, haven't you?;-)
