I rather like General Curtis LeMay. The bombing campaign he ran over Japan worked very well indeed.

I lived in Japan from 1956 to 1959. The US air attack was very fresh in the Japanese mind. I talked to those people, got to know them, I know what I am saying.

The C-154 had four Pratt R-3360 engines. Big iron, the biggest radials ever built.

Had an opportunity to buy a R-3360 a while back, zero hours since an Air Force overhaul about 1960. The guy wanted $10,000 for it. Thing weighs about three tons, and the only warm place I had to put it was in the living room. Have to demolish a wall to get it in, too. Wife did not approve. Never bought the machine, sigh. People have no appreciation for great art.

Morning Iris7.

I don't know why wives are like that. Putting a crimp in a man's "hobbies".

I don't understand how any one couldn't want a great conversion piece like this in their living room. Whatta gonna do..philistines everywhere.
