A "brand new" B-29 named "Doc"

IIRC they had a passenger version as well.

Are those Yak engines?

No idea. I scanned past something on one of the pages, told what they used for engines. Here's another little "bit." When Wright radials were first "getting going" those were sold to and LICENSED to quite a few countries, including the Germans and Russians. So some other radials around the world owe their heritage to Wright

Here's a direct example, the Russian version of our DC-3 built UNDER LICENSE at the time, by the Russians, including the engines......the Lisunov Li-2

Lisunov Li-2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Used direct copies of a Wright Radial. The Russian Shvetsov radial was either a direct or developmental variant.
