If I remember correctly, three 1,200 HP Allison V-12’s(same engine as was in the P-40 Warhawk). And each one burned 100+ gallons per hour under high loads. Probably 50 gal/hr each at economy cruise and by the way, that was 130 octane, the good stuff. These guys were the hot rodders of the Navy back then.
