Did it use turboprops

Turboprops? what new-fangled ideer is that?

6 Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major air cooled radials - 28 cyliners/engine, 2 sparkplugs/cylinder - plug change: not a minor job

That's interesting. Wow, think about how long a tune-up would take!

Didn't you just HATE it when a jug broke?
