The interesting thing about the p38, mentioned earlier, is the tops of the propeller arcs move outwards (not inwards like a conventional counter-rotating setup). Naturally this makes the p38 "tricky" under asymmetric thrust regardless of which of the engines fails. There is no critical engine in a p38, they are BOTH bad.

According to Kelly Johnson, this was done to make the p38 a more stable gun platform.
