One sound I loved as a youth, though there were not many aircraft so fitted in my neck of the woods, was the inertia starter on the radials, a prelude to the symphony of the main event. The wind up, clunk of engagement, belch as a cylinder caught and died, then all firing with a cloud of smoke. Sound (music) with theatrics (smoke).
