On twin engined warbirds (bombers) is the conventional landing approach
usually "power on" or "power off"?


I flew a B-17 and B-24 for a couple of years. We always used power on
the approach....you never want the prop driving the engine. RPM is kept
low (1800-2000) and the MP is kept "oversquare" until in the flare.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
