Probably the difference between a WWI plane and a WWII plane. I remember that Air Force and Dauntless rated the rotary tougher than an inline, which may be to what HeadMMoid is referring ... For WWII, that would probably be a radial engine rather than a rotary. It looks similar but doesn't spin. Also, I think the relative toughness may also have something to do with the cooling mechanism. Radials could be air-cooled while inline had to be liguid cooled and so were more vulnerable. If something hapens to the coolant system, that'd be a big problem for an inline engine.
