"Maximum weak mixture"
Gunston in "Nightfighters" states that if the RAF had run their Lancasters at "maximum weak mixture" power, their speed would have risen from 200 to 270 mph, with a penalty in engine overhaul life and fuel consumption, but with many less interceptions taking place.

Is this correct?
