Interestingly the type of aircraft featured in the film (Fairchild C-82 Packet) never used a Coffman starter. In the original novel the aircraft was a fictional type called a "Salmon-Rees Skytruck" which had liquid cooled engines with Coffman starters. In the film Frank Towns once refers to the plane as a "Skytruck".
