message: In this edit I removed the word "radial" from the description of the engine in his final flight.
There is some dispute over the type of engine.
http://www.lincolnbeachey.com/looper.html suggests that his previous aircraft used rotary engines ().
Prior to the recent edits by myself and the editor who changed it to "radial," the text of the Wikipedia article read .
So, either the lincolnbeacy.com page is incorrect and his previous aircraft was not a rotary aircraft, the previous text of the Wikipedia article stating both planes had rotary engines is incorrect, or the plane had a rotary engine.
The editor who changed it to radial makes his case in the edit summary: 
The Wikipedia articles for both Radial engine and Rotary engine show engines that are arranged as pistons around a central axis.  The difference is that in the rotary engine, the pistons are moving and the crankshaft is stationary, while in the radial engine, the reverse is true:  The pistons are stationary but the crankshaft rotates.  According to the most recent edit of Radial Engine,   This would suggest that a rotary engine is more likely.
Without a reliable source to say one way or the other, the best thing to do is to leave the specific engine type out of the article, at least for now.  davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:01, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Lincoln Beachey was also referenced in pages 19 and 20 of the book Johnny Got His Gun. This is noteworthy enough to be added to the pop culture section in my opinion. I am new to the site though and don't know how edits work so i'll leave that to someone else.
EDIT: I decided to add this to the main article but i'd still appreciate it if someone to check over what I wrote since I am new to editing. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by GioIzHawt (talk • contribs) 09:41, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
