Q about WWII a/c

"Kingfish" wrote

I talked with the owner of a Corsair last year at the "Corsairs over
Connecticut" show at Bridgeport, CT. He said power was limited to 40"
when burning 100LL as a safety margin against detonation. I'm guessing
if 115/130 was still available then 50" would be safe. IIRC WEP (War
Emergency Power) was close to 60"

WEP also used water injection as a further deterrent against injection, didn't
it?
