Ford Model A aero mod?

      Hi,
      I am working on a Pietenpol Aircamper and in my search for Ford Model A motor to
      power it with I came across sort of a strange motor.  It is an air/oil cooled
      Model A conversion.  I got a copy of an old article from a guy that was published
      back in the 1960's and, based on pictures in the article, it looks like
      this motor might be a Claude Sessions conversion from the 1930's.  Claude Sessions,
      who was from Illinois, turned the modification over to Lightening Aircraft
      Motor Company of St. Paul, MN.  They then passed it on to Universal Aircraft
      of Ft. Worth, TX.  That seems to be the only trace of history I can find on
      this thing.
      Anyone out there ever hear of anything like this?  
      I'm interested in the history of the motor and what it was used on and if this
      was a successful engine or a flop.
      
      Thanks,
      
      Matt
