2 exhaust outlets... that's an early model with R-4360-20s, I believe. Way cool!

When I lived in Queens, in the early - mid 60's I used to see groups of those climbing out after take off from La Guardia. I was just a kid, a junior plane spotter. It was pretty impressive seeing them with way less seperation than airliners used, they were quite close together. I don't know who they were flying for, my dad told me they were freighters. Nice footage!

Pleased to see this rare video. I flew 2600 hrs on this bird #861, 1954-1956 out of Ashiya Japan. Lots of memories. Thanks!

Wow, no kidding?! The very same bird, neat.

It's from the film "Airborne", from 1962.

You can download it at the Internet Archive.
