Hello,

Welcome to the site ...

According to the lists of the propellers and governors I have, the DWG 6359A-18 prop blade was used for :

A-26B, C powered by the engine R-2800-27, hub 23E50-473, 505, 573 with a prop of diameter 12ft 7in.
B-26B, C powered by the engine R-2800-71, 79, hub 23E50-473, 505.
B-25 bomber aircraft series powered by the engine R-2600-9 or 13 or 29A, hub 23E50-333, 473, 505 with a prop of diameter 12ft 7in.

The B-17 and also B-24, C-47 used a blade of a similar DWG number ... 6353A-18 for a prop of 11ft 7 in diameter. The DWG 6359A-18 is not listed for the C-47. The Blade Angle Settings 24-90 indicate the prop blade from B-25 bomber, IMHO.
