Power Plant Chart (1952):

Combat performance is estimated, normal and military are from flight tests. The date of the chart is from February 1949, I would have thought combat power results would have been available by then.

Is there any flight manual chart for F4U-5?. It would seem that the estimated performance is often very different from actual performance later on
For example:
Estimated performance
p-51h-altperf-91444.jpg


Later tested performance
P-51H chart.jpg
 
Later chart is taken from flight manual.
Interception profile doesnt include rack
Where it says that it doesnt include rack?
All I can see is that max speed is the same in all configurations which would indicate that in interception both rocket and bomb racks were used
