I wonder how the Fowlers worked with the dive flaps, being they change the airflow on the outer flap panels. Kind of off centered from the P-47 though, which would seem even more akward due to changing airflow over most, but not all of the flaps.
(btw I'm really only refering to 1st deflection, combat manuvering setting, or whatever the dang position was called, that being the only time I can think of where they might be similtaneously deployed)

Typically, the fowlers will blow up from the maneuver position at higher speed where the dive flaps would be required. Moreover, I seem to recall that there was a Vne limit on
the flaps, but I'm at the office this morning and my manual is at home. I'll check into it this evening.
