3 minutes long. Engine starts.

This is so true. Keep the props spinning at proper rpm with proper oil pressure and you have a cool pilot. Have the props stop and you have a glide slope on a direct route to the scene of the crash!!!

With a chopper that glide slope is vertical. Rotors stop, you drop....right to the scene of the accident.

Being as aerodynamic as a brick, it's amazing those things could fly.

They just beat the air into submission.

Designed and built in case the B-29 didn't live up to it's role. The B-32 was the last aircraft over Japan that suffered the last a casuaulty of the war a rear gunner. They were all scraped after the war because they didn't need both the B-29 and the B-32. I think there were over a hundred built and only one group was deployed in the war over Japan. Brand new aircraft went right to making into beer cans.
