The Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major at one time represented the largest and most sophisticated of its breed. With all it's 72 litres capacity, 28 cylinders set in a 4-row configuration with each row offset it was commonly known as the 'Corncob'. Nothing else in the late-1940s marketplace could boast what the R-4360 did, coupled to a giant turbosupercharger producing 3,000 to 4,000 horsepower. By the end of the piston-engine era, Pratt & Whitney had placed into mass production the largest and most powerful engine ever built with 3,482 to 3,870 lb (1,579 to 1,755 kg), heavy but giving a power to weight ratio of 1.11 hp/lb (1.83 kW/kg), this was matched by very few engines.

Although reliable in flight, the Wasp Major was troublesome on the ground, it was famous for 'cooking' when Idling on the ground. Crankcase oil leaks were very common, as noticeable on many photos of the B-50 Superfortress with long black streaks down each wing. Also it was one of the few engines that could shut down in perfect running order and have something wrong with it the next time it was started up. (bit like an old Duc really) This required an extensive checklist for start-up and shutdown procedures that could last for more that six hours.

The passing of the KC-97 and C-97 transport series aircraft from Air Force inventory in the late 1970s marked the closing of the era of both the large piston engine and the turbo-supercharger within the USAF.
