I'll see if I can dig up my Japanese books on the subject. I obtained a few years back a whole series that I found referenced on combinedfleet.com . Also, do you have Peter Smith's book on the Val?
I'm bumping this 11-year old post of mine to the head of the line again. I found a number of documents from across different profile series and other docs, but if anyone has more sources, I'd love to hear about them.
Thank you!
Thank you very much! That was a wealth of information. I typed "Performance data" in the search box and got not only the Catalina, but the Wirraway, Boomerang, Mustang, and Mosquito.
Hello,
I haven't been on the forum for a number of years. Someone way back (about 10 years ago) posted the RAAF documents that evaluated the performance of their PBY Catalinas. These evaluations were performed during WWII. Unfortunately, the link to the message that contained those documents...
Does anyone have documentation in English or even Japanese (I have a translator available), established by any of the military services, on the flight performance characteristics of the IJN's H6K (Mavis) and H8K (Emily) series? I am looking for original docs to back up or refute Francillion's...
