DC-6, a DC-7 with 3 bladed props. P&W 3350's instead of 4360's

DC-6s were powered by P&W R-2800 Double Wasps. 118' wingspan.
DC-7s were powered by Wright R-3350s. 128' wingspan.

Thanks Bob, I was off by a generation...
It was a DC-6 wasn't it?

Yep! We were still flying them at PanAm when I joined them in 1967.
They were used in a "cost plus $1.00" contract to fly U.S. service
personnel in Vietnam on Rest and Recreation flights.
