Big 4 engine transport that I think would be a fun alternative to the gooney bird

There was only 1 built before the war ended, no idea if it saw any action or not.

Pictures? sounds cool though. If you want a 4 engine transport why not the DC-4 also know as the C-54?

If it qualifies for AH then I think it would be a good idea. However most people (not me) here would much rather the PBY.  :bhead

Those two did not have a Merlin engine, York did.  :D

If it did not see combat action, its not likely to ever be added, why not request the Ju-52 instead?
