When the Aero Commander twin came out, for a publicity stunt, they took one prop off in Wichita (or somewhere), put it in the cabin, then flew the plane to Washington, DC (I think it was) on one prop! I sure hope the pilot had rudder trim!
Honestly, if you have enough runway, flying the Skymaster on one engine is no big deal. Just don't be a hotdog pilot on a 90 degree day and wind up in the tree line at the end of the 2500' runway...(true story - its why we have the "Single Engine Take-off Not Approved" placard).
