I expect Pete Stickney will be giving you his patented thrust vs. horsepower
lecture shortly, if he's not on vacation or otherwise occupied. If youre in a

as the author and "Maximum Speed of Airliner at Low

discusses this subject in some detail.

Just back - I'll get to it tomorrow - right now I'm wading through the
"British Night Bombers vs. the P-38" thread.
