The DC-4/C-54 did not have reversible pitch propellers, but the DC-6/C-118 (this is a DC-6B) and DC-7 series were all capable of reversing their propellers. I never used wheel brakes on landings, and often did not even need to reverse the props. Wheel brakes were mainly used for taxiing, runups and parking until chocked.
@@therickman1990 Yep. The DC-6 and DC-7 and the L-1049 Super Connie had reversible pitch props. My dad flew C-47's and C-54's. He flew B-17 F models in WW2.
This video shows a nice feature of the dc-6. The only complain is that the plane didn't fly in the video. In fact, I think that the crew were not pilots but maintenance people. Anyway, nice your video,👍

Didn't know it could reverse on it's own! Really cool!

What was the fate of this aircraft?
He's going to screw around until he hits something on the ground. That would make me upset.
