              They didn't say it was a single engine..... They said it is not a twin.... The bombs in the video are WWII US, but a Lancaster would be in order if the video is just generic... If not, a B-24....

                Tennyson50 = Lord Tennyson = Lord = Jack Lord = Hawaii Five-0 = Hawaii = B-24D Green Hornet crewed by Louis Zamparini: "We mostly flew the Green Hornet on the cabbage run, meaning we would take it to the main island Hawaii to pick up lettuce, fresh vegetables, steaks and stuff like that." - Devil At My Heels by Louis Zamperini.

                Ta-Dah!

                Considering Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade contains the lines:

                Theirs not to reason why,
                Theirs but to do and die,
                Into the valley of Death
                Rode the six hundred.

                I was leaning towards a Wildcat from the Battle of Wake Island or the Battle of Midway since those were both "do and die" fights for the Wildcat (and Brewster Buffalo) pilots, but the multi engine clue ended that.

                Then again, the B-24 missions in the Pacific were no milk run.

                      Hey Jeff, there is a prize it's articulated on the "what's next Alpha" thread in the miscellaneous rc aircraft chat:)
                      if you can guess the plane and associate the code name you get the plane for free (at Alphas discretion)

                              I must have missed something. Where did they say it is multi-engine but not a twin?

                                    No one said multi engine! That is the key. Since it was stated it is NOT A TWIN, then everyone assumes it is a single!!! LOL We will see!!!
