At least on single-engine birds; some twins may have had

counter-rotating
props, but I don't think they operated from carrier decks all that much.

What, like a P-3?


Not single-engine, not a twin, no counter-rotating props, and never

operated
from a carrier...


Never?

LOL

I assume you have some sort of evidence that a 140,000lb airplane that
needs 4,000+ft of runway was somehow able to operate off of a carrier,
right?

Lack of evidence never stopped Tarver from posting drivel...

Weiss once again misses a subtle reference and craps himself.

Well, you obviously are thinking of a P-3 other than the Lockheed Orion.
As far as I know the USAAC Curtiss P-3 never found its way on board, nor
would that been its designation in the Navy system of old. Even ignoring
the inappropriateness of the "-", looks like none of the P3(whatever) planes
from the US Navy did either.
Am I missing some other than American type?
Or are you by chance thing of the P-2 Neptune which was a twin and did
operate in a limited sense from flattops?

No counter-rotating props there, either...

Plus there's very few twin P-2's too, most have are four engines.

No, I was teasing Gord.
