Dick J. and list, I have time in DC-6 and 1049h Constellation aircraft. The 6
was nicer to fly and the engine very reliable. The Connie had way more
horsepower partly due to the power recovery turbine. An exhaust turbine thru a
hydraulic coupler  put about 500 HP directly on the crank . A shaft was in
there also. The problem was they blew up often. That's why they had those
large exhaust pipes. So all the parts could evacuate easily.Terry Hunt, Guam
