Friend of mine is a AA pilot and told me that they had to land once
without flaps. Trouble was that none of them knew what the speeds were for
that setup, so they had to dig out the books ("professional" pilots mind
you).

I'd be willing to bet that the landing speeds vary over a wide range
depending on gross weight of the aircraft. They probably have to
check a table every time they take off or land to see what the reference
speed is. I think if your "friend" is reading the thread, you owe him
an "apology."
