  1. The Lycoming R-7755 aircraft radial of the mid 1940s had camshafts with two lobe for each valve. One for cruise. The other for maximum power https://oldmachinepress.com/2018/05/20/lycoming-xr-7755-35-cylinder-aircraft-engine/

  2.  @nerd1000ify  The Lycoming was intended for large aircraft such as the B-36. About the only piston aircraft engine developed in the US during WWII that eventually went into production and saw service was the R-4360. Unless one counts Wrights R- 3350. And that was not Wrights finest product. Overall the best US designed a/c engine was the R-2800. Pratt& Whitney did their development work inhouse including prototyping. Curtiss-Wright farmed a lot of work out to contractors. Two engines P&W was developing that had a lot of promise were their H type 24 cylinder sleeve valve engines. They were canceled to allow P&W to concentrate trate development work on the 4360.
