I’ve spoken their praises before, but you should really look for cutaways from the Italian car mag Quattroruote . Here’s one of theirs:

Did that thing drive around without an air cleaner?

The Stratos, it depends on where it was running. Looks like it was run with at least two air cleaner setups in addition to open stacks. The Ghibli has its intake assembly drawn here, just mostly transparent.

The first is a C-133 , the second looks like a Connie , the third may be a Short  flying boat, the fourth is a B-24 and the fifth is a Zepplin.

See Ttyymmnn’s reply directly above. Bro knows his stuff, generally.

As a kid I thoroughly enjoyed the copy of Stephen Biesty’s Incredible Cross-Sections that my parents bought me. I was searching Google to illustrate why, but I’ll let this comment on an imgur album I found explain:

Not just a Zeppelin, but the Graf Zeppelin II (LZ 130), the last of the great German rigid airships. They broke it up and melted down the duralumin frame to make airplanes during WWII, and the giant Zeppelin hangars were destroyed along with them.

The third one is a Boeing 314.

I like the stairs in the back.

Straying, but when you said “stairs in the back,” I thought of this image.

I was just looking at the flight crew rest station in the nose of the B314.

Ah, well, that’s why I hedged with a “may be”. ;-)

I will accept “generally.” Though writing about Av History for the last 18 months has taught me a thing or two.

ttyymmnn > user314 09/27/2016 at 16:58

Unless you were there, writing about history is a study in “may” and “perhaps.” I generally try to avoid the word “the” because somebody will almost certainly come along and prove me wrong.

I can’t even imagine how hard it would be to draw these. This was one of my favorite books as a kid:
