Well I ordered that 1953 flight manual on the F86A, strange in that the F86F came out in 53, but, it does take them some time to make them things. There was an even newer one from 57, it too said 86A, but, it looked kind of hokie from the cover so I went with the 53, thinking it probally was the most up to date wrt the 86A, where as the 1951 probally still had some errors in it.
Bad news is it was not a buy and DL thing, it was a buy and they send me a CD thing. So, when it gets here Ill send you a copy of it via email. Feel free to remind me about it in a week or so, i got so many things going on right now I may forget to send it!
Down side is, these flight manuals tend to be kind of light. That is to say they dont allways have the tables we are looking for, and if they do they tend to be very conservative, in that they are trying to real the pilots back to give them some margin. I would really like to see an aceptance test on the F86 or an NACA test on it, but, hopfully this flight manual will have some useful charts
