Purple 115/145 avgas, burns just fine in the jet and was
required by the big P&W radials.


Yep. As I recall, the jet engines did also not run continuously, but were
turned off, after takeoff and climb. Correct?

They cruised on just the piston engines and used all 10 for
take-off and attack runs, I think they did the climb using
just the pistons.
