But that's just an educated guess - does anyone know for sure?
I've just looked in the book, "Magnesium Overcast", and the photo's of the cockpit show the recip throttles on the centre console as 1 thru 6 and the jet throttles on the roof panel as 1 thru 4.
Need to watch "Strategic Air Command" again to see what James Stewart calls them.
Dixi.
