McCool, one page, 4to, San Antonio, Texas, 18^th May 2000, to Mr. Terry, with interesting content, in part, 'Reference the B-26: The early models (May-Oct '42) had high wing loading and a “tricky” Prop-feathering mechanism which was prone to run wild at high speed (such as take off) and feather the prop resulting in an uncontrolled wing up at critical speed and usually ended in an inverted crash. This gave origin to the “One a day in Tampa Bay”…..The addition of 6 feet more wing span and a new prop governor, turned the B-26 into one of the most air worthy of the Bomber Forces'.
