wow thats interesting info,
I have to wonder when the P-36 dive data was collected because that sounds too fast. Just seems if the instrumentation might've been limited in the late 30s/early 40s.
I dont doubt the P-40 rolled as well at high speeds. It was said to have one of the best aileron designs of the war. Apparently the mechanics allowed for a consistent roll at with moderate stick forces even at high speeds.
I'll have to look into those books. Thanks for sharing.
