[ARC5] Torpedo Squadron 8

[Christopher Bowne]

Noticed that the Army numbering sequence convention for the engines goes from 1 outboard port 2 inboard port 3 inboard starboard 4 outboard starboard.

Would a naval 4 engined aircraft have them numbered 4 outboard port 2 inboard port 1 inboard starboard 3 outboard starboard consistent with how a series of pumps or other major components installed in a row athwartships on a ship would be numbered?

Fascinating and fun to watch.  My favorite part, predictably,  was listening to the 3 DC to AC inverters start up on the pre-flight check!

Nice set of Hammarlunds in the control tower!

The local club (Northern California Contest Club) had participants in that
DXpedition and give slide presentations at west coast ham events.  I can
assure you that the full story was told.
