writes Nah, the Shackleton was a frumpy Brit post-war bomber hopelessly outclassed by the sleek and futuristic B-29 which actually saw combat in both WW2 and Korea and later copied by the Soviets. I was responding to the post that suggested the B-29 performance was due largely to lots of power and 17ft props, whilst the Shackleton with slightly more power (4x 2,450 Vs 4x 2,200 from my sources) and contra- props offered more mundane performance. Therefore power is not everything and there must be a significant design difference between the two. -- John
