Hey, Paul, it's always interesting to find a photo with a 'personal' side to it. Thanks for this one! :wink:

By the lack of forward pushrods, heavily studded conical shaped nose case, data plate at 7 O'Clock position, spring retainers on baffles, etc......that's a Wright R-975 (if Army likely R975-11 with 2 speed H-S 2D30)....no Pratt. Whether the rest of ship is BT-13 or -15 I wouldn't know but FWF it's a BT-15.
