"Handed props"
ref Green Knight's 535
de Havilland's Hornet's props rotated in different directions too - did it have the same problem as the P-38? It was said that handing the props cut out swing on take-off, which was a more frequent problem (on, for example, the "Mossie") than engine failure (said the RR brochure).
