The Connie was designated a C-69 in WWII and flew operationaly in late '44 and in '45. I don't know if it ever saw enemy action though.

I think the C-69 was entering service right at the war's end[/quote]

You may be right but I remember a reference to flights to Britain in the March '45 time frame. I'll check into this and get back.

I thought they were canals or lesbians?

If you use skyhook in the same sentence with any of the above you'll either be laughed at, punched, or thought to be a former toilet cake changer!!!!

What about a long stand?

Even the Merlin had an intercooler/aftercooler (the same thing actualy as they are both between the supercharger and the engine).

That's nowadays (me!) in WW2 aftercoolers were modern intercoolers, intercoolers were between the turbo stages IIRC?

I belive the intercooler/aftercooler is just American/British lingo differences.
