Hallo,

many C119/123; B36; Neputnes and several other airplanes with
reciprocating-engines were fitted jet -engines as "boosters".
Now the question:
did they use avgas for these jets or jetfuel from a special tank ?

The B-36 burned avgas in all engines, even when it was "six turning and
four burning."

Used to have some Army livery F-10s at Holloman--jets that burned
AvGas. Man did they stink when you had to taxi behind one!

But, the KC-97s used to carry JP-4 for offload and AvGas for their own
engines.
