Question Set a record.

The R 3350 Turbo compound was the first A/C recip engine to develop more horsepower than its' cubic displacemnent. I remember long ago reading a US Navy publication that they had the first TC R-3350 to exceed 1000 hours installed on the wing. In that article it stated 3500 horsepower.
