What WW2 plane broke the sound barrier?
In article .com,
"Kingfish" wrote: Lockheed P-38 Lightning revealed Mach tuck phenomenum, its cause and fix. It wasn't mach tuck IIRC as the plane wouldn't go that fast. It was flight control compressibility in a high speed dive that froze the stick. The J model had dive brakes for just that reason. I stand corrected. It was indeed compressibility. Thank you!
