Im trying to remember which prop job in the 1950s kept going

off...some sort of metal fatigue/harmonics issue which took them
awhile to find and correct. They did a movie about it in the 1960s
IRRC

Turbojet, but maybe this one?

They didn't understand metal fatigue very well in those days- nice big
square windows in the early models.
The same aircraft type flew for many years after that in a marine
defence anti submarine role


After they fixed the problems of course.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
