That was almost 40 years ago in Super Connies and DC7s but I don't believe
it was more than 3500 HP.

I'll check my references. Smith.. History of Aircraft Piston Engines.
2800 HP with out turbo compound and 3400 HP with turbo compound.
200 HP per turbine.

Gunston... Piston Aero Engines 2700 HP to 3500 HP or 233 HP per turbine.
3700 HP with water injection or 333 HP per turbine. Later Gunston
stated 270 HP per turbine.

I have a book on Connies up at the hangar.
