Talk:Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major/@comment-2001:5B0:4FD8:F4E0:0:FF:FEC3:167D-20180810183330

I am fascinated by the radial engine technology that kept or Nation free and safe during the cold war. I was a military brat, my father joining the U.S. Army in 1946, then getting his Congressional appointment to the Naval Acadamy, Anapolis in 1948. He learned how to fly with James Lovell ( Apallo 13 commander). We we stationed with the American Embassy (MAAG) Military Attache' Assistance Group, in The Hague, Netherlads, between 1961 and 1965. If the Cold War escallated ( as witnessed in Cuba with the Russians), we were taught to get our skinny-asses under our school desks and kiss our asses goodby. I got to see some of this technology up close at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tuscon, Arizona ( a B-36, and I believe they had a KC-C97 or a C119 Flying Boxcar also.  I am in awe at what goes on a Davis Monthan Air Force base where they store, salvage, repair, and put back into action aircraft of all sorts.  Jeff  jeffreypollak2@gmail.com  August 10, 2018
