Merlin powered DC-4
Interesting variant. 100 mph faster in cruise than the standard radial powered version. Albeit much louder! Hard to fathom why they didn't route that exhaust back to a turbocharger to reduce the noise and increase horsepower.

I heard of the North Star before, but didn't realize that was the difference. Canadians like to rename airplanes sometimes to just prove to ourselves that we're different. Wink
