"376 mph reflects MIL power, not WEP (combat power).

See the chart below. Note that the power setting for the P-39Q at 376 mph is MIL power, which is (1,125 hp), not WEP (1,420 hp)."

Well according the engine chart you posted the MIL power is not maximum continuous (giving 1000hp) but it seems that the Allison had a normal "WEP", as we call it, for 15 minutes giving 376mph and a peculiar "extended WEP" which could give the 1420hp for 5 minutes, but for some reason it was not mentioned in the chart Bronk posted giving the the more common max (15min) MIL figure of 376mph for max speed. Bronk's chart showed the corresponding marks the given speeds applied to but your chart says only "P39" but you say it is Q.

Was the 1420hp setting actually usable at all?

Which of the charts is more accurate and are they from manufacturers manual?

It is hard to read some of the charts, but it is interesting.

The posted 15 minutes of max MIL is for maintenace concerns only, fighters in WW2 never  flew the entire mission at "full throttle" ,for one the gas consumption would be enormous and secondly the engines would require a lot more down time.

We dont pay any cost in AH for running at 100 throt the entire time, ir real life, you would be called on the carpet for it, in any air force.

So the 5 min is WEP, and the 15 min is a suggested max for full throttle MIL, thats all.

We've been trying to decipher the climb rate chart but it is hard to read the column titles.  We're making a few educated guesses based on the numbers. :D
