RE: Diesel engine hours
For folks that only need the corrosion and other additives in a warm climate usually 1/3 antifreez 2/3 distilled water will do the job , assuming its fairly fresh.
Neptune P2V-7 had battery start , although later ,when in a Ferry Squadron
(greatest duty in the world!! fly most ANYTHING in the inventory after an open book exam , and 3 TO & landings)
DA Book for the DC 3 had a ground windmill start method , with a second DC 3 in front , to provide the breeze.
In Da DC-3 (C-47) Book was the ONLY place I have ever seen with a book procedure for a one engine takeoff!
Guess the Jap hospitality would have folks really willing to try anything!
