Default Constant speed prop question

Mike,

originated
out of military teachings that applied to very different pilots doing very
different things while flying very different aircraft.


Actually, it couldn't have been all of the military. Many major cities in my
home country of Germany would contain many more historic buildings today, if
those B-17s hadn't run oversquare and lean of peak. The B-17s would never
have reached them.
