Does this go back to the Overhead Delivery System days?
before we used them on the A-models in 317th TAW prior to 1961 and on.

There were a lot of complaints about reliability and parts for the 3 bladed prop, but USAF did not care because they were all in the AFRES/ANG.
On 26 July 1975, 63TAS A 57-0454 on a low level, #3 prop came apart, one of the blades took out #4, the aircraft rolled over and all were killed.
It forced the USAF to start replacing all the three bladed props.

This is not quite right. I was in the 317th TAW at Lockbourne AFB, OH up through 1969 when I went Guam.
At the time I left there was one aircraft undergoing the mod from three bladed props to four blades. It was in the Jumbo hanger. Don't remember the tail number
I went thru It one day while my aircraft 53-3134 was in phase inspection. And it sure was tore up, Props off, Sta 245 and barrels of sand in the fwd part of the cargo compartment.
