Oh, I don't think you stuck it out that far. You're right for the wrong
reason. Anything with a radiator is air cooled. The heat exchange
mechanism is different for liquid coolant engines, on straight air
cooled it's direct.

Find me a water cooled engine, and I'll show you a boat.

(Having all that water hose attached to the airplane didn't work that
great, so they went radiator heat exchanged air cooled)
