I have 3500 hours in Navy WV2’s (EC121K) and R7V ((C121J), essentially the Super G Connie as a radio operator, 1959 to 1962. The radio operator on the Navy R7V sat right behind the pilot and next to the flight engineer. Standing behind the pilot watching the 500’x8000’ runway come up in the windshield at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii lit my fire to become a pilot. That was a wonderful time for 20 year old Kansas farm boy.
I have a pneumatic deicer control panel from a Super Connie in my study as well as the three inch thick flight manual for the above aircraft. D
