I recently moved the forward half of an AT-11 to a guy in Yuba City Cal. During our talks as is usual when two old farts get together I told him I had been on C-130’s in the mid 70’s where upon he said he had something I might be interested in. He had just bought out a large inventory of AT-6 parts and when he was clearing out the warehouse the owner said everything goes. In the back of the warehouse was a 11’ long crate the he told my friend was a prop from a C-130. So my friend said he had no use for it and if I wanted it to get it out of his building. We settled on a fair price and I proceeded to try to move the crate. After emergency hernia surgery, I took the crate apart and loaded the blades and the box containing the hub in my truck and small trailer. When I opened the crate there were only three blades in the crate. I knew that the C-130A originally had three bladed props, and thought they were Curtiss Electric. Now I have been told that they might not have been Curtiss but something else. When I got home and unloaded the prop I open the crate and found the shipping document and found out the prop was a Curtiss Electric but it was removed from a C-124C in 1972.
My question is does anybody remember what prop the A model had and is there any possibility that this prop might have been used on the A model also.
Thanks for any information
