wrathofatlantis = Gaston, who has spent many years promoting the basic idea WWII fighters the history books say were best horizontal were actually best vertical and vice versa, from a message of mine over three years old
All the following flowing from the search string, " "Society of Experimental Test Pilots" P-51 F4U P-47 "
Part of their report is quoted at F6F, FG-1, P-51, P-47 comparison Things like they kept to 6G or less given how irreplaceable the aircraft are.
Now would it be correct to say hello Gaston? And these ideas have been put forward for the last 10 or more years which sort of means why haven't the claimed tests been done by now? See for example, Spitfire IX v. FW 190A A thread which does far more than I could pointing out the flaws in the turning fighter ideas, let alone the use of the data. In one of the posts, is,
"For more of Gaston's theories visit the Aces High board and the UBI Il-2 General Discussion forum."
Johnny Johnson, maths and the 1989 Society of Test Pilot report; revisited.

I note the similarities of the turning fighter advocay across the years, and here for example,
I note the posting of "never catching fire" was done without qualification, then the walk back as someone else's words.
I note back then whether true or indicated air speeds were being quoted, and not answered.
Asked for Shaw, twice, no reply
Asked where the high speed came from given Eric Brown's description did not have the phrase, no reply
Darwin Spitfires page, no reply.
How were the Spitfire escorts versus FW190 interceptor combats missed? No reply.
Closterman is a reference for turning Fw190, his reports of diving ones ignored.
The failure to provide the where a quote from "First Team" was located while ignoring the Appendix 5 information.
The way Hartman kept being hit by debris as proof diving tactics had problems.
The failure to explain whether the Ki-61 was a turn fighter, given the Ki-100 was claimed to be one.
The Spitfire combat fuel consumption figure, ignored.
The flipping where test pilots are wrong or right depending on what their data is.
The misreading of text as a method of changing the subject.
I noted Lerche making the report about La-5 versus Fw190 and Bf109. The reply was another absolute, *only* German source, so someone has read/interviewed all the relevant personnel and reports. No thought of for example, as the reports tend to use 8-109 and 8-190 that there might be a transcription error, or the way the Bf109G stalled about 20 mph slower that the Fw190A and with much better stall warning, so maybe the Fw190 was not going to push things at low altitude where a stall would be fatal, instead it is an absolute, truth laid down, and later Lerche, having provided contradictory information is attacked as a "usual suspect".
Essentially information that does not fit is ignored or alternatively the person (or aerodynamic theory) who presents it is attacked. All far from the front lines applies even more to all of us today. The past is most definitely gone and someone has a very fixed idea about it.
