   I was looking through a book called Magnesium Overcast
   by D. R. Jenkins and I ran across these illustrations
   showing the Kuchemann & Weber diffusers.

Paul ,
The really amazing sketch is the 1/4 view of the nacelle. The 4360 was
HUGE and you can't even see the engine through all that duct work!

To my knowledge this was the first production airplane with
K&W diffusers. The P82 Twin Mustang may have had them as well but I am not
sure.
