Hi Chuck,
I have been pondering a similar question, and I haven't had a chance to see
what is going on. First, I think there is a collector missing, since the
pipes are not exposed like this in most photos. Secondly, the early DC-3s
had 9-cylinder Wright engines. But that doesn't explain why there are 8,
not 9 pipes. I will try to take another look, but it could be a couple of
weeks before I get a chance.
