4 Bladed Prop on Spifire V?
Gentlemen:
Time for another prop question. Arthy and Jessen's Focke Wulf Fw 190 in North Africa has a photo on 52 FG Spifire Vs, where the aircraft closest the camera has a 4 bladed prop. Aircraft code = WD W. The other aircraft have 3 bladed props, as I would have expected (although I'm no Spit expert). I assume the photo was taken very late 1942/early 1943. Was the use of 4 bladed props typical of this aircraft type/time/theatre? If not, why was this aircraft so fitted? Cheers Don W
