This is off topic but I am fascinated (and ignorant) on the differences between Allied and German propellor design in WW2.
The Germans seemed to have tendency for three blade props with fat blades, as mounted on this great looking craft.
Not too many German planes had four bladers while they were very common on late war Allied planes.
Can anyone give a reference or link to an article on the subject (nothing too technical please)
