Ta-152c

notes that at the end of the V-1 menace (September 1944) Tempest Squadrons reverted back to +9 lbs boost and 130 grade fuel.

Read again Kurfurst for it does not say that.

"..... it is their intention ......" That is planned.

Just have to love the selective reading of Brain and Kurfurst. So .

Brain, the Shackelton, powered by Griffons, used 25lb boost. So, 610 Sqn never saw combat, LOL. Can you tell me of any other a/c that lost a prop blade that wouldn't cause an engine to destruct? Oh wait, German a/c never would.

And where exactly did you read that? They were testing +21lbs, no mention of actual combat use let alone +25lbs boost either testing or even less so operational use.

Can you tell me of any other a/c that lost a prop blade that wouldn't cause an engine to destruct? Oh wait, German a/c never would.

What does this have to do with anything, it's exactly the silly comments like this that contribute NOTHING! Why don't you read what I wrote again and see just WHY was the blade shed...

[Al Schlageter]

The one with silly comments that contribute nothing is you Brain.

Wow sounds really reliable, squadron service imminent - in Japan as Kamikaze lol

R. Dennis:
"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!"

Meaning, they changed to the "Rotol" (brand name) airscrews when the "DeHaviland" (brand name) airscrews proved to be a problem. They ditched the airscrews, they don't say in that passage that they reverted from the boost.

There may be documents somewhere that say they did, but so far I haven't seen any quoted text in this thread that says they did.

Reverted? I would like to see they even used +13lbs at all before we start talking about reverting LOL

increased to 3,850 from 3,700 and boost to +13 from +11

Can't be said in any plainer English > boost increased to +13lb.

So Brain, what other engines would not suffer detrimental damaged from loosing a prop blade.

LOL, even your LW increased the prop blade size on their a/c when extra power was developed from the engines.
