I assume you probably already have a copy of Shaw, the following might also interest you:

CombatSim.com:
Using E-M Charts, Joseph Hong 1998 (Fig.1 and para.5 explain quite neatly why that bloody P-38 just kicked my arse :D)
E-M Charts II, Joseph Hong 1998
Energy and ACM, Leon "Badboy" Smith, 1997

Frikkin' poifict!
Now to figure out all the charts!!!

TYVM for all ur help, hopefully some kills will come my way due to it :)

Since you seem new around these parts and eager to digest (here's your complimentary and patnented pair of forum-blinders by the way), I want to throw a suggestion out.  Keep an eye open (or PM a trainer and ask for a one on one) for the Basic ACM clinics, they're vastly informative and in the hands-on sense too.  Goes great hand-in-hand with all these charts and numbers you're starting to just chew on now.

I discarded that because its irrelevant, this thread is about E-M charts, corner speed and best sustained turn speed for your own aircraft.

Lets see, the OP says - "your best speed to maintain if a turn fight is what you are in." I think maybe theres some interest in HOW this info affects FIGHTING the airplane ...

And you discard "getting KILLED" as irrelevant ... Hmmmm ...

I guess anyone WANTING to get killed should probably pay attention to you ...
