6 turning, 4 burning. Biggest bomber ever built. Back in my AF days I read the entire aviation section of the base library. some of the best were the, "no $#@t there I was..." stories.
The best of those was a B36 flying out of Colorado. It had received a bad load of fuel and suffered a 10 engine flame-out. The guy in front brought it in deadstick.
