Re: Thesis on P-51 performance available

Not a particularly impressive study. A quick look reveals dubious data on which the math is based on (e.g. Bf 109G performance data), odd comments (e.g. the supposed Spitfire ground-looping tendencies when test reports tell otherwise), the author tries to force simple mathematical solutions onto complex problems and too often the language is filled with cliches and comics like expressions that have no place in a good thesis.
