Very interesting, especially as the 3-view drawing shows a mix of 3
and 4-blade props. I wonder why this would be?

The two inner engines were fitted with four-bladed reversible pitch
propellers; the outer engines had standard three-bladed feathering
props

Do you know why? Was this for enhanced maneuverability on water?



reversible pitch , do make it easier to handle on the ground & water.

ever seen a plane back up ? watched C-130s do it and its impressive.

Even more so with a C-17...

Apparently the performance characteristics of the inboard engines are
different from the outboard.

The first aircraft I ever saw do this was a Blackburn Beverley, back in
the 50s.

Responding to my own question, it seems the answer is, sometimes;

How odd!

Some interesting history on the Coronado:

http://www.history.navy.mil/branches...ac/pb2y-5r.pdf


I thought I'd research the Coronado in my own library, so took out my
book on testing at Boscombe Down during WWII. It took a couple of
minutes to work out why the Coronado wasn't in the index...

That sounds rather rude.

Have a look in Google Maps for Boscombe Down, the site of the UK's
Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment, and you'll see what I mean.

There was nothing rude about the comment. I asked for you to elaborate
on your original, incomplete thought and you would not do so, instead
you responded with a feeble attempt at facetiousness.

I spend enough time trying to read my wife's mind due to the female
propensity for expression through the use of incomplete thoughts.

Now, you try and send me on a silly research project just to uncover
the final sentence of your thought? No thanks.

I didn't mean you were rude to me, I meant it sounded like a euphemism!
