In one of the videos the pilot mentions that the guy who put the throttle levers the way the are on the B-17 should be hung up and I agree. Wonder if it was the same guy who put the mixture levers with rich in the aft position. Hope they pull the cord 1mm/day once its tense.
LG switch, geeee.
Putting all 4 feathering buttons together. Better separate left from right wing ones like on the DC-6 and others I feel.

Must have been a very good aircraft to do its job but the cockpit controls deserved a better design/set up.
