I believe that the aircraft in the movie was a C119 - http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/outdoor/od26.htm
The engines were Wright R-3350s - approx. 2500 HP each. They are two rows of 9 cyl. - I'm surprised they could be started with only one cartridge. http://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/engines/eng43.htm -- OK Don, KD5NRO Norman, OK '90 300D, '87 300SDL, '81 240D, '78 450SLC The FSM created the Diesel Benz http://www.venganza.org/
