I don't have any photographic proof, but imagine an F7F would look at least as good!

I remember reading that the F7F had a longer range on 1 engine than 2 turning. I hope there was enough rudder trim to compensate!

Any idea where the P-38 pictures were taken?

Dan I immediately thought of that Hornet image, then I saw you beat me to it. Hope it's O.K. to post directly.



I seem to recall hearing that an aerobatic sequence was flown with both engines feathered
What an amazing machine. The ultimate development of a brilliant design.

Cool thread

I agree that the P-38's are in the Aleutians.

This little Cessna has a neat look as well with a feathered prop.

That's a bunch of BS [get it?]

As for the Hornet, I thought maybe Bob Hoover was visiting England...
