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!

I'll see you and raise you 4 feathered props

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.
