[Leica] Oictusres-A-Week 24

[Jim Nichols]

They initially had Pratt & Whitney radials, probably from WWII stock.  
But parts for those have about dried up and prices are out of sight.  
I've heard that some have been dug out of Siberia and brought back from 
Russia.  Eventually they replaced the piston engines with turboprops, 
which you will find in the later models, but they are also very expensive.
