Ya.. throttle control was nonexistent on that plane.  The pilot had a
switch for something like 50%, 75%, and 100% power.  The switch shuts
off the spark to certain cylinders, and the pilot continually toggles
between the three settings.  Announcer said "a lot more of these
planes went down in flames than went down from enemy fire."

Rhinebeck's a great place.
