Both the 3350 and 2800 were 2 rows of 9. 3350 had a 4 bladed prop. 2800 3
blades.   RICH

    I believe the C-119 originally came with the Pratt R-2800. Later models
had
    Wright 3350 engines and GE J85 turbines for some more push. Some C-119s
were
    fitted with a single Westinghouse turbine centered over the fuselage.

    Doug may have seen TWA had one it used as an engine liner.
    You may remember the early Pratt JT3C water wagon turbo jets with water
    injection. Black smoke all over the place. Could easily stop traffic on
    US101 if used taking off on 1R from SFO Rich
