I've looked on "Web of Knowledge" and some other places but have not been able to get a copy.
I suspect that, since Cameron felt it necessary to write a paper in 1942 to standardise the methods, other variants were probably used before. I'll continue trying to find it.

take care that perf predictions were not accurate during the war as they didn't hve the knowledge that became available after the war*. I think there is something with the Glauert correcting factor that you might be interested to investigate.
*does not apply in calibrated range (rare)
