Look at the American aircraft, Allison powered aircraft only ever had 3 props…

American Allison-powered (V-1710) aircraft that mounted four-bladed props:

P-39Q
P-63
P-82 (in its later marks, but wartime design)

…constently…

…cluless…

…opertunity…

…just how difficult is it to open an Atlas and copy it?

Apparently it’s about as difficult as you opening a dictionary and copying it. :rolleyes:

Tbyguy, I did say Worlds Greatest Warbird show!

My bad. Please allow me to clarify.

Oshkosh is the world’s largest gathering of warbirds (300+)

Legends is the world’s greatest warbird show (60-70?)

Be sure to sign up for Thursday night’s WIX picnic (if you haven’t done so already). 🙂

Just go to the WIX link I posted above and let Zack & Jenn know you’re planning to drop by.

Zack runs the EAA’s “Timeless Voices in Aviation” program. From the Wittman control tower, go west on Waukau Ave. (I usually just walk), and his home is the last one on the south side of the street. Food & bevs will be in the backyard. As long as you’re willing to be included in a WIX group photo, you’re in.

Glad to help. Just getting from Vermont to Wisconsin in a J-3 will be quite an adventure. Hope your journey is a safe one every step of the way. Don’t forget to post a summary of your trip.

I appreciate your interest in the 398th BG and “Aluminum (Go ahead and say “Aluminium” ;)) Overcast”. “Liberty Belle” commemorates the veterans of the 390th BG, one of whom was my mother’s cousin, Lt. Billy Pflug. Billy and entire crew were lost on 24/4/44 when their Fort detonated over Friedrichshafen.

Take care,

Dan
