Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

Looks like an engineer checking the Wright Cyclone engines. Engines were delivered to North American as assembled units what I see
front the photograph, is the front cowling, crankcase, cylinders were arranged around a central crankshaft, with connecting rods.
You can see the engine cooling gills, the ignition harness, in front of each cylinder, actuators and on top is the carburetor air intake.
What you don't see, are the boost and fuel pumps, hydraulic lines and the supercharger. During WWII Wright built over 50,000 of these engines.
Say checkout those 1940s shoes they look
like brown in color, with white tops!
