Gann was co-pilot on an LB-30 (cargo version). I recall reading an
article he wrote that appeared in Reader's Digest (don't know where it
originally appeared) where he talked of almost taking out the Taj Mahal

then losing power temporarily on one engine shortly after takeoff.

That article was what got me reading his books.
