In the title?
Nickname for the C-124 Globemaster II was “Old Shaky”. It was developed from the Douglas C-74 Globemaster. Douglas used the DC-4/C-54 as a basis for the C-74. The C-74 was 31 feet longer than the C-54.
The C-124 was powered by 4 3800 HP Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major piston engines. It could carry 200 fully equipped troops on its double decks or 127 litter patients and their attendants.
I never worked on the engines except repair minor leaks. I agree with you.
The date on this is wrong. This post makes one think this occurred today.

That is the FR posting date not the date of the article

Hmmm...pretty sure that means the date the article was written/posted on their site. Not FR. Otherwise why would FR ask for the date when we post? They would just time stamp it.
Doh, I see in this channel it doesn’t post the date of teh article. Or it was left blank. Everytime I’ve ever posted I had to include a date, but I see this one didn’t.
Sorry.
1958. I wondered...
