The lessons I learned in the DC-3 carried over to the 727, and the 747, it had to do with a thinking process not my ground speed , I loved my working time in the Douglas masterpiece and the CV340,it was gold, and my round engine squadron alumni are liberally sprinkled among the major, national, and corporate ranks, I don't think their sojourn in the radial engines effected them in the least( except for their best stories !!!)
