Making things up? Lets see, Brain's quotes:

Quote:
"All our machines were fitted with Rotol airscrews when the maximum rpm were increased to 3,850 from 3,700 and boost to +13 from +11, as the DeHaviland airscrew could not absorb the added power and more than once shed a blade, with somewhat detrimental effects on the engine!"
(your bold text Brain)

Wow sounds really reliable, squadron service imminent - in Japan as Kamikaze lol
You seem like an intelligent lad, so why do you have so much trouble understanding that it wasn't the increase in boost but the loss of the prop blade that hurt the engine. The airscrew became unbalanced after loosing a blade and caused vibrations that shook the engine apart.

I would like to see they even used +13lbs at all
Why did you even post the words of NZ pilot F/O Ronald Dennis of 56 Sqn then? Also note the use of the word 'all', that is more than one a/c using 13lb boost. There was 3 squadrons in 150 Wing.

Produce the document that the K-4 used 2.02 ata operationally.
