Summary
edit| Description |
This P-38 compressibility chart is taken from a USAAF P-38 pilot training manual. Pilots of early P-38s (ones without the 1943 dive flap retrofit) were advised against steep dives as compressibility would force the plane to dive more steeply as well as immobilizing the controls, a situation that could prove fatal if initiated below 25,000 feet. | ||
