LW aircraft speed specifications

[Crumpp]

How does Crumpp know that Camm was referring to the wing itself when he was shown it? And how does he know it was the sweep itself that he was referring to as useless? He doesn't, it's an assumption. There is no recording nor official transcript of the conversation to gather context therefore zero proof.

Osprey,

Sir Sydney Camm's reaction was typical in fact. Most of the aeronautical engineering community in the world had very little knowledge of swept wing theory, compressibility effects, and transonic flight.

An engineer in the United States had been doing some parallel work on swept wing theory and mach effects. His work was not considered mainstream or accepted by the majority of his colleagues until after the war when the German findings confirmed his....

No all of this related to the original poster's interesting anecdotes.
