This site says:
Taxiing in a Beech C-45 is rather like walking on ice with leather-soled shoes. This massive 900hp aircraft has no controls apart from a freely rotating tail wheel and differential brakes. With a four tonne weight pressing down on the rear, this demands a lot of concentration. The US Air Force manual provides a strong warning: “The brakes should be used as little as possible for directional changes during taxiing.”
