Guys, I need some help.

I am looking for detailed performance on the titled aircraft. I have spent the last
several years putting together charts made from graphs. Thanks to Mike & Neil
I have been able to pretty much complete the US & UK aircraft of WW2. I have
a great selection of Soviet information thanks to rkka.es and several fairly expensive
books on USSR aircraft. I have Dietmar Hermann's Fw 190A, Longnose & Ta 152
books. They cover most of the late 1944-1945 but do not have climb and speed
graphs for Fw 190A-1, A-2, A-4, A-7.
I am also particularly looking for climb & speed graphs for the Bf 109As, B, C, D,
F-1/-2. F-3, and several of the Gs. Graphs of actual test with compressibility
corrections along with detailed technical information is highly sought after.
I have been looking on amazon and there are several expensive books on these
aircraft but I just don't know if they would have the detailed performance graphs
or incremented charts that I am looking for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Jeff.

PS: I have the TAIC Manual concerning Japanese aircraft, but have been unable
to find Graphs and detailed charts anywhere else on Japanese fighters of WW2.

The speed data for the Fw 190A-2 can be found at Mike's site. Flight reports for the A-4 are also there, though some sifting through the test reports is needed.
Flight charts for the 109F1/F2 are contained in the type 'report' (attached bellow). For the Gs - there is a lot on both Mike's at Kurfurst's - looking for some particular sub-type?
109s A-E are covered by the 'Messerschmitt Me 109' book by Radinger and Shick; English-language translation is also available. There is also a volume about the 109F and later by same house, written by Radinger and Otto this time. Not many of graphs, but there is a lot of performance tables.

For the Japanese - there are separate TAIC reports for some Japanese A/C available, unfortunately some of them have only front page.

Thank you for responding so quickly Tomo.

The speed data for the Fw 190A-2 can be found at Mike's site.
If I am reading Mike's graph properly it is speed only and is just a partial of the A-2
and complete of the A-1.


Flight reports for the A-4 are also there, though some sifting through the test reports is needed.
Been there, done that. The best I could come up with were tests at 1.32 ata.

Flight charts for the 109F1/F2 are contained in the type 'report' (attached bellow). For the Gs - there is a lot on both Mike's at Kurfurst's - looking for some particular sub-type?
Any and all along with complete specifications and particulars of test. I have
recorded everything on wwiiaircraftperformance & Kurfurst's site. I am also looking
for WHEN each level of boosting was cleared for low and high superchargers.
I am very interested in the chronology of the aircraft becoming operational and
anecdotes from pilots are always welcome.

I will look into these books. Thank you for the information.

I have purchased the full TAIC book and have several updated flyers. I was hoping to find
some Japanese graphs or charts that might be published.
 
Here is some data from the Kurt Tank book.

Thank you MIflyer. I will look these charts over and add them to excel. The only
problem with these charts is that they are limited. Maximum velocity is only
given at full throttle height of 2nd S/C. With sea level speed, FTH of 1st S/C,
speed and altitude at S/C changeover and then 2nd S/C FTH most of the lower
graph can be drawn. Rate of climb is also given for only one altitude and that
altitude is not even stated.

Kurt Tank book? Are there any performance graphs in this book?
