EAL "The Wings of Man"by conkyjoe15,604 views
This sequence of engine starts became common practice during WWII. Since aircraft, like the B17, B24 and British Lancaster, had no onboard fire extinguisher system ~ an individual, belonging to ground support, would stand next to each engine during startup with a fire extinguisher, in the event of a fire. By starting #3 first (and I guess it could have just as easily been #2 to start first) then person with the extinguisher did not have to worry about an active prop behind him. Hence, 3-4-2-1
