The RAF pilots were given license to use it in the General Operating Notes. The Air Ministry openend the door and I am sure pilots died as a result. They were instructed to balance the risk. Given the fact these guys were not the technically savvy pilots we see today, it makes sense you would have a high incidence of those who thought they knew better with such instructions. Defining that point of balance was obviously an issue for the RAF as several memo's appear at various times during the war warning of the dangers of over boosted conditions. |

Where does RAF authorities allow to ignore/violate engine limitations? My agenda is to follow primary sources, this makes life pretty easy.

We know your agenda. The RAF's agenda was to provide the pilot with the best possible performance in high risk combat situations. The RAF didn't want to provide the pilot with an engine self destruct switch, which is what would happen if the boost override was used with 87 octane fuel. |

Its just Crumpp trying to ignore all the pilot accounts regarding using the boost ie pulling the plug etc,being linked to 100 octane fuel because it doesn't fit with the agenda he's pushing. Last edited by fruitbat; 05-16-2012 at 08:28 PM. |
