This was the Recip Engined Aircraft I would loved to have had a long career flying......Two Pratt and Whitney R-2800-54 Radial Engines....each producing 2100 SHP. We carried a 55 Gallon Drum of Engine Oil and a Wobble Pump for use during Shutdowns while flying. They both used and leaked LOTS of oil.
