I have a 1980 letter from Horst Eschenberg with attached comments from Wolf Lemke that sheds considerable doubt on Johnson's test results.
Dick Johnson refused to consider he might have been in error.
Give me a postal address and I'll run off a copy for you.

Hello Fred, would you still have this information? could you provide me with a scan?
I just discovered this old thread...for what it is worth, I own the LS3A Dick Johnson reported on way back (9P). I think his data was off. How much? I can't quantify. However, I also own an ASW 20BL (MO). I have about 450 hrs in the LS3A and about
300 hours in the '20. The experience of owning both of these delightful ships from the same era has taught me one thing...The difference in performance capabilities between these two ships is marginal and any significant difference is due to the pilot.
My Point? Don't split hairs on the performance of any ship from this era unless you are good enough to extract all of the available performance.
