I only find US planes with 4 radial engines that served in the UK after WW2, so .. i thought it was not a radial-engined plane?
Douglas C-54 Skymaster?

Skidman asked "Three radial engines?". I was saying no to three. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Not a C-54 Skymaster.

B-29 Superfortress were used briefly in the Korean war...death traps against MIG fighters there! My dad flew as Nav/Engineer on those in WWII... and avoided getting recalled up for Korean War service in 1950 as, by then, his Dehydration-engineer's job producing instant coffee for National Foods: grocery chains and GI ration mess kits

was deemed integral to the war effort. I have his deferment papers; I essentially exist since March 1951 'cause of an instant ''cuppa joe"!!??

hose huge radial engines run fine once they're warm. But they don't care to start when cold, and especially at Colorado Spring's 6,187 foot elevation. The flight engineer starts the engines, and it takes numerous switches, dials, and levers to do so. And a bit of technique, and lots of patience. The engines belch smoke when they start, and a ground crew person with fire extinguisher is poised in front of the engines. From his station, the flight engineer can look out his window and observe the right-side engines as he starts them. The navigator's window is positioned so the flight engineer can also see the left-side engines. Once all four engines were started and warmed, the flight engineer gave control to the pilot. However, as long as those engines are turning there is no rest for the flight engineer; he is constantly monitoring numerous gauges and making minor adjustments.
