A question for Skoshi Tiger about the B-25 pic

[BP_Tailspin]

The engines displayed next to the plane do not belong to the Mitchell. They are two R-2800 engines that have come from seperate US single-engine P47D Thunderbolts (note the four blades).

Yes the F4U, F6F and P-47 and some transports used the same engine, after doing some research I found this picture of an early P-47. They changed to a paddle blade prop latter in the war.

Looking at a twin engine bomber and seeing two engines I had tunnel vision and was only thinking "twin engine bomber" ... I must be getting old.




Thanks Skoshi, I love researching this stuff.
