It is a great shame that 816 aircraft and crews working for 23 years do not have a better record written here.---plumalley

I am not happy with the word "triumph" since that is an emotional opinion. But I do not know how to describe the routine success at Thule, 1956, of starting 20 each Pratt & Whitney R-4360 28 cylinder radial engines cold soaked at minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit on an open ramp in the wind. We really need an old maintenance superintendent to tell us how that was done with limited combustion heaters. In order to insure that three KC-97s would, in fact, launch on time, five birds were prepared.--plumalley
