With over 13,000 hours, Moesly has flown virtually everything in the Army Air Corps WWII inventory! However his book, "A Pilots Story", relates that most of his time was in the C-54 (DC-4) 4 engine transport. In a multi-engine transport, the throttles would have been on either the right OR left depending on whether you were the pilot or co-pilot!
